If you’ve spent any time on the internet lately, you’ve probably come across the kind of music that feels like it was grown in a lab: perfectly inoffensive, lightly vibey, and engineered for Spotify’s “Chill Mornings” playlist. It washes over you, frictionless and forgettable, like sonic beige paint. So imagine my surprise of stumbling onto

Winterblind has decided to drop EGO, an EP that sounds less like an album and more like a midlife crisis being screamed through a distortion pedal, and I mean that in the best way possible. You know when a band doesn’t so much make music as it performs an exorcism of its own self-image? That’s
