Beautiful Blackout is a sultry, ferocious mind invasion, with the raw and unexpected vigor Diet Kong is known to deliver. On standout track “A Forest”, the guttural vocals of Keith Gladysz combined with Jenn Penn’s sensual yet unreserved harmonies, intertwine and capture the essence of the Diet Kong experience. The equally mesmerizing “Shoot the Freak”, constructed of sub-bass and telecasters, brews an infectious tale of boardwalks and carnival dissonance. It’s this magnetic energy that continues to emote from each track, as Diet Kong weaves a collection of daring songs ripe with personal, uncompromising lyrics.
