Self Torque released their latest EP, No Rest for the Depressed, on Dec 15, 2023. This 5-track EP blazes energy, anger, and frustration through waves of punk rock and indie influences, inspired by Tom Petty, Against Me, and Hot Snakes.
โDaydreamโ opens No Rest for the Depressed with glimmering guitar riffs that chime against thumping drums. The angsty vocals, delivered with great passion, set the tone for the EP, creating an immediate connection with the listener. The combination of energetic instrumentation and fervent singing establishes a compelling introduction.
โAnxiety in the UKโ maintains the momentum with catchy riffing and rhythmic drumming. The dynamic changes in pace throw us into a haze of unpredictability and intensity. The angsty vocals evolve into a gnarly, sharp, and almost demonic hollering.
The driving melodic riff in โNo Rockโ pairs with looping drums, illustrating the exhaustive context of the fear of failing and the struggle to find the motivation to keep going.
Coming up, โSea, Stars and Moonโ introduces echoing guitar riffs that persistently reverberate behind a wall of sound. The pounding drums break through this barrier. It brings dynamism to the atmospheric and immersive chasing landscape. Closing with โA Retrospective,โ No Rest for the Depressed concludes with dreamy guitar tuning and riffing that exudes driven energy past the earnestly rich and vivid vocals.
Self Torque shows us their fiery energy in No Rest for the Depressed which is so very relatable. Listen to โNo Rest for the Depressedโ to bask in their commendable representation of depression, anxiety, and introspection.
