Lynks - ABOMINATION (2024) Hi Res

After three EPs, sell-out UK tours, and a rapidly developing cult-leader status, the unapologetically uncategorizable Lynks releases their debut album ABOMINATION. Ricocheting between visceral, abject shame and giddy, hedonistic delight; Lynks takes us on a dizzying tour of modern queer culture via casual sex, references to Sean Cody, and a one-sided love affair with a straight tennis coach. Self-written, self-produced, self-effacing and self-aggrandising, their debut album brings together half a decade's worth of artistic and personal progression in under 40 minutes. Where their earlier work employed a relentless, collage style of effects and high-octane vocals to carve a unique path, ABOMINATION allowed Lynks the space to experiment in a different way. Here they have the runtime to explore a wider range of ideas, new vocal styles, fresh genre elements and gentle narratives. The result is an accomplished debut that deals in light and shade. On ABOMINATION, Lynks reaches out to their acolytes and the soon-to-be-converted, and invites us all to kneel before their altar.
