Five For Friday - 'Rat-Level'
11/29/2024Blending Americana, psych rock, and electronica with modern indie twists, the album reflects their evolution, with the lead single 'Rat-Level' capturing the raw, relatable tension of everyday existential anxiety through gritty, layered guitars and poignant lyricism.
Known for their eclectic sound and DIY spirit, the duo has created a record that feels both deeply personal and sonically expansive, blending Americana, psych rock, electronica, and indie rock into a cohesive, boundary-pushing statement.
It's an anthem of unease, but it's also an undeniable jam—a testament to Local Phonies' ability to make the weight of the world feel oddly exhilarating.
