“By the time we started developing the track as a band this song was sped up to almost hysterical levels and the fuzz pedals came back out. Lyrically it’s certainly influenced by some of the empty political messaging that was going on in early 2019 but spliced together with some topics present in the David Cronenberg, J. G. Ballard and Stephen King work I was obsessing over during its incubation.”
The band release ‘Genetic Cabaret’ on July 17 via their own label Cool Thing. The full tracklist is as follows:
1. ‘Catalogue Kids’
2. ‘Platitudes’
3. ‘A Perfect Life In A Perfect World’
4. ‘A Town Full Of Boarded Up Windows’
5. ‘Clean Money’
6. ‘Who Writes Tomorrows Headlines?’
7. ‘The Distance Between Left & Right’
8. ‘The Miracle Age’
9. ‘Adrenaline Culture’
10. ‘Yuppie Germs’
11. ‘Genetic Cabaret’
12. ‘Dull Days’
Asylums first announced their return with the single ‘Catalogue Kids‘ in February, which was followed by the timely ‘A Perfect Life In A Perfect World’ in April.
