Anger Manage­ment

Anger Management hits like a Famicom game tilting into genuine distress: chiptune melodies mangled through enough bit-crush and feedback to sound less like nostalgia than a system dying in real time. It’s the electropunk impulse—fast, cheap, combative—but where most lofi acts aim for lo-fi charm, Toxic Chicken treats degradation as the actual point. Turin’s been brewing a particular strain of this for years; this one finally sounds like something broken, not retro.
