Amyl & The Sniffers - Cartoon Darkness (Vinyl)
In the eight years since Amyl and The Sniffers came together in Melbourne’s sticky pub-rock scene, they have become masters of balancing power and playfulness. With two critically acclaimed albums under their belt - 2019’s self-titled debut and 2021’s visceral ‘Comfort To Me’ - vocalist Amy Taylor, guitarist Declan Mehrtens, bassist Gus Romer and drummer Bryce Wilson have achieved something unique and remarkable.
‘Cartoon Darkness’, recorded with producer Nick Launay at Foo Fighters’ 606 Studios in Los Angeles, on the same desk that captured Nirvana’s Nevermind and Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours, is full of surprises. It stretches from classic punk to the glammy strut of recent single ‘U Should Not Be Doing That’ to the stormy balladry of ‘Big Dreams’ (which is a sonic gear shift worthy of the title).
Tracklist:
1. Jerkin'
2. Chewing Gum
3. Tiny Bikini
4. Big Dreams
5. It's Mine
6. Motorbike Song
7. Doing In Me Head
8. Pigs
9. Bailing On Me
10. U Should Not Be Doing That
11. Do It Do It
12. Going Somewhere
13. Me and The Girls

PRE-ORDERS
Flying Nun only debits your account for a pre-order when it has actually landed in our store. We believe this is fair because supply can often be unreliable - availability and release dates frequently change without notice. Pre-order with Flying Nun and you can cancel any time prior to the product arriving at our store.
OUT OF STOCK ITEMS
Flying Nun only make products available to purchase on our website when they are actually physically held at the store (except pre-orders). Vinyl availability from all local and international suppliers changes on a daily/hourly basis. Therefore, it is not possible to guarantee an online order for many items not currently held in stock.
