The Berlin-based band Lawns were formed in the fall of 2020 by three ex-Londoners, Ben Lubin, Joe Green, and Tobias Humble. While influenced by UK post-punk, the bulk of the listening material that they cite consists of US “post-hardcore”. Listing artists like as Blonde Redhead, Death Grips, Deerhoof, Unwound, and Yo La Tengo as key sources of inspiration. Ben confirms, “We like good noisy stuff… I think that’s in our blood.” They all grew up watching videos of Fugazi, Jesus Lizard, Shellac and The Minutemen, and these forces of nature certainly inform Lawns’ incendiary live shows.

The Worrier is a pummelling, pounding paean to paranoia, and the absolute shit, which unchecked, fills our heads. From unpaid bills to imagined physical ills. Fuelled by mainstream and social media. Something like a sonic taser shock it’s the soundtrack to a potential nervous breakdown. Like the rest of the album it expresses, externalises an internal darkness, in a ritual of frenzied release. Its arrangement is like a series of seizures.

LAWNS - The Worrier

Pulses

lyrics:
im so thrilled 
baby 
lets go do something 
i love to get away 
ill leave in the unknown
there's light right down the road 
u said to just go home 
in spite in what you told 
ill walk into your arms 
look into the stars 
when i feel alone 
the space will fall apart 
im always on my own 
my body sore you torn apart 
the things i did 
its just another start 
the sound is all i hear
why cant you see that 
and so i quiver in my bones 
its  unhealthy 
just come out to replay 
all the things that you say
its breaking down my brain 
ill break down anyways
