Julian Casablancas+The Voidz
Tyranny
Rare & Collectible Vinyl Records

2015 2LP black vinyl in tri-fold sleeve. Tyranny, the debut album by Julian Casablancas+The Voidz, is a sprawling, audacious project that veers sharply away from the polished garage rock of Casablancas' work with The Strokes. The album is an eclectic mix of experimental rock, featuring dissonant guitars, complex rhythms, and a raw, unpolished sound. Casablancas pushes boundaries with a sense of urgency and abandon, exploring themes of political disillusionment and corporate greed. The production is deliberately lo-fi, with a gritty, almost chaotic energy that reflects the album's themes of societal decay. Casablancas' vocals are often distorted, adding to the album's avant-garde feel, as he alternates between crooning melodies and aggressive, punk-infused outbursts.
