Lynks has recently announced the release of their highly anticipated debut album, titled ‘Abomination’. Set to be released on April 12th, this album is sure to captivate fans and newcomers alike. Known for their unique and unpredictable style, Lynks continues to push boundaries in the underground London music scene.
In a surprising turn of events, Lynks recently staged their own ‘funeral’ at The Social, a popular venue in Central London. The event featured tongue-in-cheek eulogies from various musical friends, adding an element of humor to the occasion. However, the real surprise came when Lynks revealed that they will be releasing their first full-length album.
‘Abomination’ will be released via Heavenly Recordings, and fans can already pre-order the album. This long-awaited release promises to showcase Lynks’ talent and creativity in full force. Additionally, Lynks has also released a new single titled ‘CPR’. This catchy track takes inspiration from the pop sounds of the mid-2000s, reminiscent of artists like Kelis, Missy Elliot, and Fergie.
Accompanied by visually striking and surreal imagery, ‘CPR’ is a testament to Lynks’ artistic vision. Lynks said, “There’s this temptation to shrink yourself and make yourself seem all helpless and vulnerable with those guys, so they get to feel like some Big Strong Man protecting you. CPR felt like the perfect metaphor for that weird dynamic.”
He added, “I first had the idea for ‘CPR’ while doing a first-aid course at my old job. I was mid-chest compression on my dummy, and suddenly the chorus just came into my head over the rhythm of my hands on the doll. I quickly ran to the toilet to do a voicenote, then got back to saving imaginary lives…”
The album explores various themes, with one of the standout tracks dissecting the concept of men with savior complexes. Lynks’ ability to blend humor and thought-provoking ideas is evident throughout the album. The ‘funeral’ performance concluded with an energetic and surprise-filled set, leaving the audience in awe.
Lynks expresses their growth and evolution as an artist, stating that this album allows them to explore different concepts and ideas beyond just humor. While their earlier work focused on creating hilarious concepts, ‘Abomination’ delves into a wider range of emotions and themes. He said, “Early on I was like, ‘Well, every song needs to be a hilarious concept.’ Whereas this album, there’s quite a few of those, but there’s also songs that aren’t necessarily funny, or they’re exploring an idea rather than being really specific.”
With the release of ‘Abomination’ and the success of their latest single “(What Did You Expect From) Sex from a Stranger”, Lynks continues to establish themselves as a force to be reckoned with in the music industry. Fans can expect a unique and captivating experience when they delve into the world of Lynks’ debut album.
