woodoo x Landmine Alert proudly bring back to Prague one of the most
distinctive post-punk bands of today. Preoccupations return with their new album
Ill at Ease – new songs, the same old outlook on a world falling apart, and us
along with it.
After thirteen years on the scene, hundreds of shows, and several acclaimed
albums, Preoccupations continue to evolve and push their sound further. Ill at
Ease is the band’s fifth studio album and their first release on Born
Losers Records. It dives even deeper into dark, atmospheric soundscapes, drawing
influences from britpop, post-punk, and experimental electronics. The single
“Bastards” carries raw, urgent energy, while the title track “Ill at Ease”(23rd
April) blends layered melodies with haunting lyrics about anxiety and
alienation.
Live, this band embodies intensity, energy, and a hypnotic atmosphere. No
grand words, just a band doing what they do best – playing in a way that makes
it feel like nothing else in the world exists for a moment.
It’s going to be loud. It’s going to be raw. It’s going to be
the kind of night that leaves your ears ringing for a while – but somehow makes
you feel a little more alive. And in the end, isn’t that what it’s all
about?
