Cabbage Release Debut Album and It’s Revolting
Cabbage Release Debut Album and It’s Revolting
Releasing their
debut album, the disgustingly punk five-piece, Cabbage hit out hard in this
political climate. With a DIY-aesthetic, Cabbage release Nihilistic Glamour
Shots that draws upon the rippling anarchic tones of GG Allin. Album opener, ‘Preach
to The Converted’ has a descending intro that almost bears a resemblance to
Blur’s ‘Country House’ however, none of the adorable, boy-charm is present and
the violent inspiration bleeds through.
The purposefully
disjointed mumble of wickedness found in each track makes not too a dramatic
departure from their previous compilation of EPs. Nods towards The Fall and Fat
White Family slither throughout the album as they chant, “How long ‘til we take responsibility” throughout ‘Arms of Pleonexia’.
The rapid bass lines and treacherous beats make this album a surprisingly pleasant
listen, despite the hard-hitting topics and politically charged themes leaving
an immediately revolting taste.
The Manchester
band spew out a bastardised creation that, although can be a difficult listen
at times, is one of the most relevant albums of 2018 so far. The sinister
shadow that overhangs Nihilistic Glamour Shots gives an earie finish and helps
create an addictive album that keeps you wanting more. The album is relevant,
repulsive and you’ll need disinfecting after.
