Super Creeps don’t care about refinement, metaphor, or making you comfortable. They care about impact. Produced with Grammy-winning engineer Reto Peter, Double Plastik is five tracks of exactly that buzzing, lofi garage rock fed through distortion and cynicism.
The guitars sound like they’re melting through blown-out amplifiers, the drums feel like they were recorded in a basement with the mic dangling from the ceiling, and the vocals hover right on the edge between sneer and meltdown. It’s punk energy with all that immediacy, noise, and nerves.
The opener “Candelabra” launches things at full tilt. The drums are busy, the guitars grind and spit feedback, and the vocal delivery is half-taunt, half-feral expulsion. It’s Bay Area hardcore by way of ridiculous and irreverent late-night horror flicks, while being loud enough to rattle drywall.
Then “A Bug’s Life” flips the tone. What starts with ghostlike, washed-out guitar and a voice muffled like it’s coming from under a pillow soon snaps into something sharper. The drums splash in, upbeat but exhausted, while the vocal performance hangs slack and numb. He drags out “you don’t care,” like someone admitting defeat because they’re tired of waiting to be proven wrong.
“Accomplice to Murder” is the EP’s most immediate earworm, hooky as hell, but still jagged around the edges. The closer, “Extended Adolescence (Pitched Down),” leans into the drowse, with sharp, buzzing guitars slowing and slurring and glitching while the singer sings lazily, as if in a dissociative haze or just high as hell.
