Doktor Lazer release “Bolimpiada” EP
Shuffling at a crooked tempo of anxiety, this five-song trip dances through personal traumas with a warped grin and pulpy exuberance. ‘Bolimpiada’ opens with a twee music box stream before diving headfirst into manic egg-punk spasms, channeling the grit of Prison Affair, Devo, Soft Cell, Zvuki Mu and James Chance in one gleefully crooked package.
It’s a gritty, adventurous punk release that processes joy, psychosis and looseness with basement-born nerve. Recorded on a mix of ARP Odyssey synth, Soviet drum machine, jagged guitar and the occasional cassette-warped accident, the sound is raw but never sloppy. A deliberate instability that keeps every second feeling uncomfortably alive.
