Street Lamp - Guillotine (EP)

When my brother Jacob told me to check out rock/funk band, Street Lamp, I knew it wasn’t just another casual recommendation. He’s one of the few people I trust with music suggestions, and after spinning their latest EP, “Guillotine”, I can say he was absolutely right.

In just five tracks, Street Lamp manages to carve out a world that feels emotionally urgent and sonically rich. “Guillotine” is not only a testament to their evolution but a statement piece that demands attention. Each song stands confidently on its own, but when experienced together, the project flows like chapters in a short novel, distinct yet tied together with a common emotional thread.

There’s something raw yet refined about the EP. The vocals cut through with conviction, the instrumentation is layered without being excessive, and the lyrics carry weight, making it a replay-worthy listen. Whether it’s the melancholy undertones, the bursts of cathartic release, or the experimental edge woven into the mix, “Guillotine” thrives on its ability to balance familiarity with bold artistic choices.

Street Lamp has also confirmed that this will be their final EP as they gear up for a full-length album; statement that feels like both a promise and a warning. If this is just the precursor, then fans are in for something monumental. But until that arrives, “Guillotine” will more than hold us over. This isn’t just a good project; it’s a pivotal moment. And now, like my brother Jacob, I’ll be the one sending this to others, urging them to press play.
