Description:

Cuticles, who made a striking impression with their 2023 debut album *MajorWorks*, have released their highly anticipated second album via Siltbreeze. Recorded with a new lineup, this album features the addition of Albert King (keyboards/guitar) and Folina Vili, who handles vocals and a variety of instruments. Across 21 tracks, the band delivers a sound that further refines their sharp intensity and twisted pop sensibility. Building on a foundation of guitar pop reminiscent of the 1980s Dunedin Sound associated with Flying Nun, they craft a sound imbued with a modern sense of speed and explosive energy. While retaining their raw charm and sharp pop sensibility, the non-stop succession of tracks exudes a scale and energy that surpasses their debut album, making this a record worthy of being the bands new masterpiece.
