German post-punk quartet Day Clinic released its self-titled debut album on 6 January. The listening experience of Day Clinic's debut album is much like a wondrous rollercoaster ride full of throwbacks to the 70s and 80s style progressive rock, post-punk, and psych rock music. Hear it for yourself in the player below.
After setting the mood with the synth-based intro "A Place For Everyone", Day Clinic explores philosophical concepts with the song "Sysiphus". Named after the book by Albert Camus, "Sysiphus" is an exploration of an existential crisis, a reflection on the sense and senselessness of life. The music speaks for itself; the start of the song feels tense and heavy, and with the slow saxophone melodies, one can feel the overbearing weight of existence. As the song progresses, Day Clinic moves to a high-tempo upbeat post-punk riff which is symbolic of the happy nihilistic release after experiencing an existential crisis. Day Clinic explores the topics of social alienation brought about by advanced technology, the fragility of existence in a world consumed by militaristic hatred and the struggle to find mental stability.
Day Clinic is the screeching and kicking child of four sound nomads who have left their homes in Israel, Spain, Germany and the UK and relocated to Berlin in order to start forging, in 2018, their mixture of cold, the 80s inspired post-punk, alternative rock and heavy-psych as relentless and heterogeneous as the city where its created. Originally Janis the band changed its name to Day Clinic to better reflect its sound. Link
