Lungfish - Necrophones

Released in 2000, Necrophones is the eighth full-length album from Baltimore post-hardcore pioneers Lungfish. By this point, the band had fully honed their signature sound: hypnotic, trance-like rhythms paired with meditative, mantra-driven vocals from Daniel Higgs. Minimalist yet deeply immersive, the album balances the tension and release that has defined Lungfish’s career, creating a listening experience that is both cerebral and emotionally immediate.

Necrophones explores the intersections of punk energy, indie experimentation, and ritualistic repetition, offering tracks that unfold slowly but with compelling intensity. It’s an essential record for fans of introspective post-hardcore, experimental indie, and anyone drawn to music that rewards deep, attentive listening.
