Deadletter - Hysterical Strength (2024)
DEADLETTER's debut album, Hysterical Strength, delivers a dynamic fusion of post-punk intensity and art punk experimentation. The opening track, "Credit to Treason," sets a brooding tone with oscillating lead guitar and a mardy attitude that permeates the album. "Mother" stands out with its jangly and haunting guitar lines, building to a climactic chorus that erupts into a frenzy of sound. The band's distinctive use of saxophone, particularly by Poppy Richler, adds a unique layer to their sound, as showcased in tracks like "Practise What You Preach." While some critics note a repetitive pattern in certain songs, the album is praised for its cohesive flow and the band's ability to blend influences seamlessly. Overall, Hysterical Strength establishes DEADLETTER as a compelling force in the contemporary post-punk scene.
