Intrusive Pinky is set to release their new EP, Darkness, on June 2 through Les Disques de la Pantoufle. The Long Beach duo, Jacqueline and Diana, continues their electropunk exploration with a carefree attitude, minimal overdubs, and modular synths. The EP’s first two tracks, "Future Crusher" and "Hoops On Fire," are already available for streaming, and the title track features lyrics inspired by an 1816 poem by Lord Byron, addressing themes of climate change and cultural decay. Their debut, I Hate You, Patriarch Fuck!, has drawn positive reviews for its raw, energetic production.
Given the blend of historical references and contemporary issues in their work, how does Intrusive Pinky’s music challenge listeners to confront the parallels between past and present crises?
