A masterclass in how to make very dark feelings sound suspiciously radio-friendly.
Troublegum weaponises hooks: sugar-coated choruses wrapped around lyrics that read like therapy sessions conducted at high volume.
It’s the rare ’90s alternative record that balances cynicism with actual tunes. ‘Nowhere’ and ‘Screamager’ still sound like they could knock over a small building.
Catharsis, but catchy.
