Freak Heat Waves

Beyond XXXL

The weirdos of Freak Heat Waves are getting stranger. Their previous album, 2015’s Bonnie’s State of Mind, played around with post-punk by inverting the genre’s core elements into freakier, jammier songs. Even when Steven Lind and Thomas DiNinno have used familiar touchstones, they’ve sought to reanimate them with an unpredictable brio. But the now-Montreal-based duo aren’t looking to interpret anything familiar on Beyond XXXL, instead letting their strangeness coagulate
