Band: LOBSTERBOMB
Who: Glamorous indie quartet from Berlin. They released
their pithy party debut album Look Out in 2023. You can
stream it here.
New album: OVERSTIMULATED
Their sophomore one. Produced and mixed by Karen Dhios.
It was recorded in the Berlin studio of Thomas Götz, drummer
of the German punk band Beatsteaks.
Lobsterbomb told TUTV about the album:” The album explores themes of self-discovery, emotional struggle, and the tension between chaos and control. The lyrics delve deep into moments of inner turmoil, clarity, and resilience.
At its core, the album is about facing life, exploring, and discovering something new about yourself and the world with each passing year. It reflects the dystopian reality we live in, a hypernormalized society in which we are constantly expected to function and look the other way.
‘Overstimulated’ is both a cry of protest and process of liberation: the desire to break free from the pressure of expectations and celebrate life’s simple pleasures—without closing our eyes to reality.
Musically, the band remains true to itself while simultaneously exploring new avenues. The characteristically cathartic, energetic sound has been further developed with new bassist Em Ritchie, and expanded with new sonic facets. The album was produced and mixed by Karen Dhios and was recorded in the Berlin studio of Thomas Götz (drummer of the German punk band Beatsteaks).
TUTV: Lobsterbomb serve a salvo of riff-roasting, pop-punk firecrackers starting with the three super-duper singles (Not Again / Falling / Overstimulated) to whip up the party, and along the way you’ll find another trio of knockouts that could easily have been singles too (Nighbird / Paranoia / Nothing To Lose).
Six singles out of 12 tracks. Not a daily thing. And don’t worry about the other songs. There’s not one dull moment on this record. There’s enough catching firepower to keep you in a hyperkinetic trance of perked up elation for the full 33 minutes.
Nico Rosch‘s temperamental riot grrrl vocality and screaming explosiveness are a vital
part of Lobsterbomb‘s sharp-cutting sonic boom. They fit each other as a warm-blooded glove, like a well-oiled sucker-punch team.
You’ll feel overwhelmingly overstimulated in the end. Damn, that feels good.
There’s always a Lobsterbomb booster at the end of the tunnel to face the
world in all its unpredictable twists. Top-drawer accomplishment.
