Life Got Claws Album Review

Life Got Claws is the fourth album released by Swedish band The Secret French Postcards. Formed in 2016, this group aptly proclaims their style to be “post-punkish;” while their use of driving bass lines, drum machines, muttering baritone vocals, and icy synthesizers reflects inspiration drawn from classic 80s post-punk, the distant guitars drowned in wet effects and feedback contribute to a soundscape which merits categorization alongside dream pop or shoegaze.
