Album Review: Sincerely Grizzly - Halves

StarStarStarHalf Star

Their innate sense of melody is never lost on this assured album.

More Sincerely Grizzly Sincerely Grizzly

Over a year in the making, the debut album from Adelaide art-punks Sincerely Grizzly is a shotgun blast to the chest, aiming for the heart and the jugular in equal measure.

Their literate and pop-cultural predilections stand out on killer tracks I’m Nucky Thompson, This Is Atlantic City and the epic, multilayered closer, Kafkaesque. The trio’s aural approach, balancing ferocity with earnestness, intertwines with the vocal transgressions and guttural screams on a razor’s edge (seen most clearly on Catholic Guilt), but their innate sense of melody is never lost on this assured album.
