Blank Stare - Blank Stare

Review by Aileen Freiburg

Blank Stare's self-titled album is a force to be reckoned with. The band's unique blend of post-punk and indie rock creates a sound that is both haunting and captivating. The album's opening track, "Lost in Translation," sets the tone for what's to come, with its dark and brooding instrumentation and introspective lyrics.

Throughout the album, Blank Stare showcases their versatility, seamlessly transitioning from the driving energy of "Echoes" to the dreamy, atmospheric sound of "Fading Away." The standout track, "Ghosts," is a haunting ballad that showcases the band's ability to create a sense of emotional depth and vulnerability in their music.
