C Turtle - Expensive Thrills (2024) [Official Digital Download]

Mercurial and moody, C Turtle’s sound is a kind of oozing fuzzy-jumper rock that’s as much about slickly spun lyrical poetry and unfiltered emotion, as it is fractal riffs and howling feedback whining at your heels. The lo-fi quartet's new album, Expensive Thrills, out on Blitzcat Records, unfurls a handsome union of existential reflection and observation that humanity is seemingly going backwards - with a retro sonic ocean of Loveless-drenched feedback, school of Malkmus-lo-fi and a handsome crunch on the guitars. From head to toe the record bursts with influences spanning the epochs of grunge, alternative rock and indie – from Pixies, Pavement and some of the bands that came through the iconic New Zealand label Flying Nun Records in the 80s/90s like 3Ds and The Clean – yet with an effortless modern zeal that has C Turtle standing head and shoulders with other contemporary trailblazers in bar italia and Lime Garden.
