In the eight years since Amyl and The Sniffers came together in Melbourne's sticky pub-rock scene, Amyl and the Sniffers have become masters of balancing power and playf1ulness. With two 1critically acclaimed albums under their belt - 2019's self-titled debut and 2021's visceral 'Comfort to Me' - vocalist Amy Taylor, guitarist Declan Mehrtens, bassist Gus Romer and drummer Bryce Wilson have achieved something unique and remarkable. Since the release of 'Comfort to Me', the band has seen their horizons broaden exponentially in every way. And it's this attitude - bigger, brighter, smarter, sharper - that's fuelling their third album, 'Cartoon Darkness'. Recorded with producer Nick Launay at Foo Fighters' 606 Studios in Los Angeles, on the same desk that captured Nirvana's 'Nevermind' and Fleetwood Mac's 'Rumours', the latest Amyl offering is full of surprises. Musically, Mehrtens, Romer and Wilson have written The Sniffers' most diverse album yet. It stretches from classic punk to the glammy strut of recent single 'U Should Not Be Doing That' to the stormy balladry of 'Big Dreams' (which is a sonic gear shift worthy of the title).
