Bootblacks' 2025 album Paradise shifts from their angular post-punk roots to a lush, electronic soundscape. Blending '80s influences with melancholic lyrics, shimmering guitars, synths, sultry sax, and bass-driven rhythms, it's an audacious ode to contradiction--lush yet raw, melancholic yet euphoric, polished yet gritty, where beauty and despair coexist.
