Cara Neir's 8-bit concept album

2021-02-02 by toastrock | 25 Comments
Cara Neir have released an experimental 8-bit concept album about the duo being warped into a video game dimension. The album and overall aesthetic plays out like a '90s RPG gauntlet through a variety of stylistic shifts.

CDs (video game style poly cases) sold out. But available on tape variants.

Good thing it’s not a concept album about being warped into a dimension where you start dating a guy at 19 and claim to have been groomed, my man up there would have REALLY been pissed off

The electronic tracks on their last album were mostly lame, but I'm curious to hear this

"Good thing it’s not a concept album about being warped into a dimension where you start dating a guy at 19 and claim to have been groomed, my man up there would have REALLY been pissed off"

Are you sure that's not what the concept is? Cos that would have really tied the bow on how awful this sounds.

"sitarzero poops his pants again!"

I would have gone with "ShitarHero" to really make that burn, but hey better luck next time Darius the Shitposter.

This is odd, but I'm intrigued. I mean, Part III/Part IV was good, so I'll have to check this.

I'm not usually into screamo or black metal but this slaps. Shit's fucking bonkers. Blackened screamo one minute, JRPG boss battle the next, and then hip-hop beats? And somehow it all just works. I don't get it, but I don't care.

Gonna go back and give the rest of their stuff a listen because I've a sneaking suspicion may also slap.
