Review

Folly Group's debut album, "Down There!", is a juggernaut of post-punk, noise, and art rock, launching with the high-octane "Big Ground". From the get-go, you’re thrust into a world where gritty vocals and driving guitar riffs on tracks like "I'll Do What I Can" and "Bright Night" bring a raw, infectious energy. The production dances between sparse and dense arrangements, creating rewarding moments of tension and release.

A standout element is Folly Group's brave delve into themes of mental health and financial pressures, tackled with both authenticity and vulnerability. This adds a vital layer of depth and makes the album resonate on a personal level. Sure, the production may occasionally slip, with vocals sometimes getting buried in the mix, but it hardly puts a dent in the album’s overall impact. "Down There!" is a compelling debut, showcasing Folly Group's ability to blend genres effortlessly, hinting strongly at their potential to make waves in the indie and post-punk realms. - Sloane
