Today's Sound: bloody/bath - UGLY
Northampton’s bloody/bath delivers raw energy with "UGLY"
"UGLY" is a blistering and raw piece of post-punk that finds bloody/bath in their most brooding and emotionally exposed form yet. "UGLY" immediately pulls you into its dark atmosphere, with a relentlessly enormous and powerful bassline and hard-hitting drums that provide a raw strength, driving rhythm. The guitars, steeped in a nostalgic '80s sound, are both sharp and melodic, creating a wild energy that depicts the song's character.
The element that defines "UGLY" is its unfiltered honesty. Lead singer Kailan Price's lyrics are a brutal confession of personal anguish, detailing a battle with anxiety and depression with a stark, unsettling beauty. This sense of angst is paired with the band's infectious, post-punk revival sound, creating the perfect contrast that makes the song both compelling and deeply sinister. The result is a sound experience that feels like a strange alternate universe where catchy melodies are born from a place of pure anguish. "UGLY" is a statement that solidifies bloody/bath's place in modern aggressive and raw post-punk.
