Black Sugar Transmission’s "Damnatio Memoriae" is a captivating six-track EP that showcases Andee Blacksugar’s knack for blending genres like glam, post-punk, electro, and alt-pop. Kicking off with the chaotic yet melodic “Deceptor Summum,” the EP explores diverse sounds and lyrical themes, from the sardonic commentary in “Florida” to the jazzy finish of “Fabulae Terribles.” With strong collaborations and a polished production, it strikes a balance between innovation and a more restrained artistic approach, making it a noteworthy installment in Blacksugar’s discography.
What does the fusion of such varied genres say about today’s musical landscape, and how do you think it reflects the complexities of modern identity?
