Straw Man Army: SOS 12″

Description

New YorksStrawManArmyreturn withSOS, the follow-up to their 2020 debut LP,Age of Exile. Emerging from the D4MT Labs group that also includes Kaleidoscope and Tower 7,StrawManArmys delicate musical touch, embrace of melody, and rapid-fire, clearly articulated vocals separate them from the louder and noisier end of New Yorks fertile punk scene. WhileAge of Exileexamined the legacy of colonialism through the musical milieu of melodic anarcho-punk,SOSturns its attention to the increasingly bleak prospects for the human race and planet earth. WhileStrawManArmys lyrical approach remains dense and thought provoking onSOS, their musical scope grows wider, encompassingAge of Exiles melodic take on anarcho, bleak and brooding post-punk, psychedelic instrumental excursions, and even the wistful pop of album highlight Beware.SOSis everythingStrawManArmys fans could have hoped for in a follow-up and so much more, cementing the bands status as one of the most original, exciting, and important groups in the contemporary punk underground.
