Seattle-based band sunking return with their latest genre-defying release, I DON’T LIKE MY TELEPHONE, out now via ANTI- Records.
Known for pushing boundaries, the band delivers a bold and playful fusion of experimental electronica, jazz, 80s new wave, and pop—creating a sound that feels both nostalgic and refreshingly forward-thinking.
Across the album’s unpredictable yet cohesive tracklist, sunking explore themes of digital fatigue, disconnection, and modern ennui with a healthy dose of humor and groove.
Off-kilter rhythms meet smooth sax lines, jittery synths collide with melodic hooks, and bursts of improvisation are grounded by an undercurrent of pop sensibility.
While the album title might suggest frustration, I DON’T LIKE MY TELEPHONE is far from bitter—it’s quirky, alive, and bursting with sonic textures that reward repeat listens.
It’s an adventurous listen that feels as influenced by the no-rules ethos of early post-punk and jazz fusion as it is by the curated chaos of modern experimental pop.
With this record, sunking reaffirm themselves as one of the most unpredictable and exciting acts in the alternative scene—unafraid to mix genres, moods, and mediums in a way that feels entirely their own.
