Global Charming exorcise the banality of everyday life, knowing the planet is doomed, and the printer is out of ink again. On their debut album Mediocre, Brutal, the Amsterdam post-punk quartet explores the monotony of daily routines, survival of the dullest kind. Fuelled by the lingering, repetitive rhythm, wayward guitars wash away the dead taste of vending machine coffee, breaking free from frustration with sharp jolts. Lyrics about cutlery and new coats blend with Global Charming’s lean compositions marked by playful synths and percussion.
