Suicideboys – I Want to Die in New Orleans (Red/Black Color) Vinyl LP

Description

It would take a group called $uicideBoy$ to pen a love letter to their hometown and call it I Want to Die in New Orleans. The duocousins Suicide Christ and Ruby da Cherrymaintain that their music is an outlet for their darker, depression-driven impulses, but their appreciation for The Big Easy (along with scuzzy pop-punk vocals and mid-90s, lo-fi Memphis rap) shines through on the first major release since their Kill Yourself series of EPs in late 2017. NOLA references are less Easter eggs than ornaments: The bass-heavy Krewe du Vieux honors the Mardi Gras parade of the same name, while Carrollton, which features an intro from Three 6 Mafias Juicy J, is named for an uptown neighborhood. The beat for Coma is built from a sample of Memphis legend Playa Flys Kreepin Out Da Kut, and the albums interludes come in the form of local news clips about city-specific tragedies, like when the levees broke.
