The Bare Minimum – Doomed City
The Bare Minimum have never been a band to take themselves too seriously, and their latest mini-album *Doomed City* doubles down on that commitment with a ferocity that borders on the gleefully nihilistic. Following their Nicolas Cage-worshipping EP *UNCAGED*, this four-track offering strips away the conceptual scaffolding to reveal a band operating at their most raw and immediate—though whether this represents artistic evolution or creative exhaustion remains tantalizingly ambiguous.
