Hard to believe it’s been six months since the release of Carnage Bargain, but here we are. And just when you thought you had unlocked all its mysteries, The Paranoyds have unearthed “Memory Foam”, an outtake from the album sessions.

Los Angeles’ The Paranoyds continue their streak of reminiscent sci-fi boogie with “Memory Foam!” On this unearthed outtake from their Carnage Bargain recording session, the band ruminates on the tedium and loss of innocence that comes with adulthood. “Memory Foam” is a playful track with a rhythm that encourages you to do a dance and evoke the spirits to ward off all the guys without jobs still living off of their parents. Release date - March 6, 2020

“Memory Foam” and its eerie sci-fi soundtrack vibes recall the more innocent times of four years past when you could regularly peep this band in all those weed-soaked former DIY spots and before the realization that we’re actually in Hell had finally sunk in. As a long-time live set highlight, it’s a thrill to finally hear this one recorded. The Paranoyds will ‘noyd rage across Europe for the first time in April.
