{"product_id":"onyon-last-days-on-earth-cd-65007667467","title":"Onyon - Last Days on Earth [CD]","description":"\u003cp\u003eGerman post-punk band Onyon scrambled our brains when we heard them, so much so that we signed them \u0026amp; reissued their debut cassette EP in June of '22. \"Last Days On Earth\" is the band's latest for Trouble In Mind. The oddball, synth-soaked world of Onyon is disorienting at first - the band's herky-jerky rhythms may operate in a familiar fashion to bands like Devo, or LITHICS, but Maria Untheim's woozy synth squiggles populate \u0026amp; punctuate the band's songs, flirting with the primitive cool of 80's minimal-synth and the wire-haired cretinism of 60s garage. Guitarist Ilka Kellner rages unpretentiously with edges torn \u0026amp; frayed, never afraid to unleash a spindly lead line over Florian Schmidt's rubbery bass lines \u0026amp; Mario Pongratz's stuttering drum patterns. Kellner \u0026amp; Untheim share vocal duties, but the real magic comes when the two sing together, voices merging in loosely harmonic gang vocals; one deadpan, the other slightly unhinged. The group's beguiling lyrics add to the mystique - inscrutable neu-world fables about egg machines, ghosts, worms that talk and urges to consume newspaper that ooze a rural, old-world understanding of life \u0026amp; the imperceptible spaces in between reality \u0026amp; fiction, transmuted thru a modernist sci-fi lens flare.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlien Alien\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTalking Worms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEgg Machine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGoldie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo Faces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDogman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlue Lagoon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYahtzee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInvisible Spook\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Would Like to Eat the Newspaper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eO.U.T\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMower\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"598","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":50791783301416,"sku":"65007667467","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/3833\/7576\/files\/4239926-3032646.jpg?v=1763992134","url":"https:\/\/waterloorecords.com\/products\/onyon-last-days-on-earth-cd-65007667467","provider":"Waterloo Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
