Mindless Self Indulgence returns with their seventh studio album, "PINK," a raw and unapologetic journey into the chaotic and provocative world that the band is known for. Released on September 18, 2015, under Metropolis Records, this 54-minute sonic assault is a testament to the band's signature blend of electronic, punk, and industrial sounds.
"PINK" is a bold and unfiltered exploration of themes ranging from personal struggles to societal critiques. Tracks like "Personal Jesus" and "Bed of Roses" showcase the band's knack for blending catchy melodies with dark, introspective lyrics. The album's title track, "This Hurts," is a punchy, aggressive anthem that sets the tone for the rest of the record.
Mindless Self Indulgence doesn't shy away from controversial topics, as evidenced by tracks like "Girls on Film" and "Slim," which tackle issues of objectification and body image with their characteristic bluntness. The album also features moments of introspection and vulnerability, such as in "Memory of Heaven" and "Darling Young Boyz," where the band delves into personal reflections and emotional complexities.
With its eclectic mix of styles and themes, "PINK" is a testament to Mindless Self Indulgence's ability to push boundaries and defy genre conventions. Whether you're a long-time fan or a newcomer to their music, this album offers a compelling and uncompromising listening experience that is sure to leave a lasting impression.
