Oakland, California’s forefront synth-punk outfit, Fog Lamp, has unveiled their second LP, ‘Anxious Stargazing,’ via The Bucket Records, accompanied by their latest video-single, ‘You Prove Yourself Wrong’. Eschewing conventional norms, the band’s decision to integrate a drum machine in lieu of a traditional drummer underscores their commitment to innovation and boundary-pushing. Garnering acclaim from both seasoned goth aficionados and newcomers alike, Fog Lamp first made waves in 2022 with their debut album, ‘Conversation?,’ released under Willow House Records. Characterized by discordant compositions and introspective lyricism, the album set the stage for their subsequent success. Now, with the release of ‘Anxious Stargazing’ under The Bucket Records, Fog Lamp further cements their status within the Bay Area punk scene.
