Goblin Daycare’s second album, AGITPROP HOTLINE!!, comes at you in all caps and with exclamation marks for extra punch. Calling it an album might be a stretch with a total playtime of just 15 minutes, but those 15 minutes are packed with enough energy to feel substantial. Mama Goblin, who handles everything on the record, pushes the drum machine to its limits and breakneck beats collide with mutant synth licks and rapid-fire vocals in these lo-fi, playful quirkpunk tracks. Alien but not alienating, it’s a fun little trip from Istanbul.
AGITPROP HOTLINE!! is out now on Dedstrange, available on cassette, with a vinyl release expected in mid-June. In case you missed it, Goblin Daycare also recently curated an amazing Palestine solidarity compilation.
