🎸 Six Flags Guy bares their soul on raw new album. The Columbus slowcore quartet's latest release, "You Look Terrible," marks a shift from the surrealist characters of their debut to deeply personal explorations of anxiety, depression, and isolation. Frontman Jonah Krueger describes the songwriting process as "almost like an exorcism" that helped him process difficult emotions during a lonely period. The album balances intimate revelations with caustic commentary on late-stage capitalism, featuring explosive dynamics that build tension before erupting into cathartic noise. Six Flags Guy will celebrate the album release on June 7 at Cafe Bourbon Street.
