The rising comedian's journey from Vancouver to Toronto has given him the perfect lens to poke fun at Canadian culture.
By no means did Preoccupations go back to basics on their latest album, Arrangements, but the decision to bring the reverb drenched guitar sounds back to the forefront of the mix was an excellent choice.
There is so much to divulge here on the lyrics—an unintentional nod to the thoughts of pandemic life and how the world is going to shit—but focusing solely on them wouldn’t do this album justice. Preoccupations feels most at home when they’re playing loud warbly punk, the kind of music that makes you want to run through a wall just to feel something.
