Swedish psych-rockers Marble Mammoth show a consuming dark and stylish sound on the track “Crack Baby Panic Attack,” released today. The quartet’s meshing of riff-based rock and dreamy psychedelia plays here with the hypnotic structural repetition and gradually increasing intensity of distorted guitars and raucously enjoyable vocals. Whereas previously featured effort “The Light” showed a sound more in line with traditional psychedelia, with swirling organs and a dreamy soundscape, “Crack Baby Panic Attack” shows the band’s more rock-forward side with some grunge aesthetic — grabbing from the get-go with waves of distorted guitars and impassioned vocals, as intensity rises throughout.
“It’s a heavy suggestive track built around a fuzzed-out guitar riff,” the band says of the new track. “The lyrics focus around a destructive relationship, self-sacrifice, and a dream theme edged by jealousy – all summed up in the quotation of Barbara Kruger: ‘My body is a battleground.'”
