Crying Loser debut with The Ick, a feral, shape-shifting blast of art-damaged post-punk and no-wave. Built on jagged guitars, propulsive rhythms and a constant sense of momentum, the album moves between abrasive minimalism and tightly wound hooks while capturing the band’s volatile live intensity on record. Lead single Flesh Interface has already attracted early tastemaker support, including airplay from Deb Grant and Amy Lamé on BBC 6 Music. Bandcamp’s New & Notable praised the group’s “pummeling no wave reminiscent of OSEES,” while American Pancake called the album “the perfect brain-rattling cocktail for those needing relief from average pop swill.”
