Straight Panic - I Have Bricked Up My Heart and Blackd My Eyes

Review by Claudiano da Silva

Straight Panic's latest album, "I Have Bricked Up My Heart and Blacked My Eyes," is a powerful and visceral exploration of the darker corners of the human experience. With a sound that draws from industrial, noise, and experimental music, the album is a challenging and rewarding listen that rewards repeated listens.

The album's opener, "The Walls Are Closing In," sets the tone with its pounding drums and distorted vocals, creating a sense of claustrophobia and unease that permeates the rest of the album. "Blackout" is a standout track, with its swirling synths and haunting melody, while "Numb" is a slow-burning meditation on emotional numbness that builds to a cathartic climax.

Throughout the album, Straight Panic showcases a keen ear for texture and atmosphere, using a variety of sounds and techniques to create a sense of unease and tension. The result is an album that feels both deeply personal and universal, tapping into the anxieties and fears that we all carry within us.
