Badlands

by Dirty Beaches

Badlands cover art

Alex Zhang Hungtai's 'Badlands' is a haunting, lo-fi road trip through a nightmarish version of 1950s America. Built on repetitive samples and distorted crooning, the album sounds like a disintegrating rockabilly record. It is a cinematic, atmospheric exploration of displacement and the open road.
