Track-by-track Doldrums gives a guide to new album ‘The Air Conditioned Nightmare’

Speaking to DIY at the turn of the year, Airick Woodhead claimed “it’s the first time I’ve had a formula” with Doldrums. ‘The Air Conditioned Nightmare’ - his second album - isn’t any less bonkers than debut ‘Lesser Evil’, but there’s a strain of thought linking everything together. Before, Woodhead would just shriek and tweak effects until the world felt like it was close to falling in. Now he’s coming close to actually controlling the apocalypse.

Below a stream of the new album, Woodhead gives DIY an exclusive track-by-track guide, detailing the mad methods (and out-of-body experiences) influencing a sense of fear and paranoia deep-rooted in the record.

Doldrums’ ‘The Air Conditioned Nightmare’ is out 6th April on Sub Pop.
