Sleepwalkers Baseball Club - How the World Ends (2020) EN

I wrote about Sleepwalkers Baseball Club already in January 2019 when a super intriguing single Grow Wings was released, then there was an EP called Six Steps Back. And now, finally, a long play How the World Ends that's a "culmination of three years, three jobs, three laptops, countless hours, and zero instruments".

Despite the fact that the artist swears he didn't mean to release an album about the end of the world during what seems to be one, it's inevitable that it is very on time. He knows it as he adds: "if nothing else, maybe it will serve as a good soundtrack for the insanity that is 2020". The theme is clear from the first song and its electronically infused post-punk. The vocals, lyrics and distinctive bass line fit this genre while there is also the richness of electronic sounds (that sound so good for example in Beware).

You can easily notice that while the theme is dark and fatalistic, SBC doesn't get rid of the synth melodic compositions and this contrast is bound to make the album such a good listen. And I can't not mention the wonderful cover art, so well designed and fitting my personal taste. Good job.
