More Fun in the New World

X

A sharp pivot from personal turmoil to social critique. Gritty punk energy meets polished rockabilly swing under the neon glow of 1980s Los Angeles.

A restless blend of high-energy defiance and weary, late-night observation.

Moments Worth Listening For
The transition into the melodic, almost jangle-pop chorus of I Must Not Think Bad Thoughts
The frantic, breathless energy of the Jerry Lee Lewis cover that feels like a runaway train
The way Exene and John's voices lock into that signature eerie harmony on The New World
