Trash Classic is a feral evolution for Frankie and the Witch Fingers, brimming with infectious hooks that decay on impact. This album slashes through proto-punk aggression, jagged melodies, and sputtering electronic textures that flicker like dying neon under a toxic sky. Twitching with nervous energy, it veers into synth-punk and fractured new wave, with industrial grit caked beneath its nails. Guitars shatter like glass, basslines slither menacingly, and buzzing synths drive relentless, chemically-charged rhythms. Vocals slice through the chaos with a mix of smirk and sneer, layering an eerie playfulness over themes of excess, decay, and escape.
Born in the industrial wastelands of Vernon, Los Angeles, the album took its final twisted shape in Oakland’s Tiny Telephone Studio under producer Maryam Qudus. Experimental recording techniques and sonic detours turned the sessions into an unpredictable fever dream, fueled by Looney Tunes marathons and late-night sugar binges. The result is a raw, unhinged testament to toxic glamour and nihilistic ecstasy—Trash Classic isn’t just an album, but a grimy, electrified gospel for those willing to revel in its beautifully rotting embrace.
