Tracking the record entirely at Chicagos Electrical Audio – the studio of the late Steve Albini and the origin of hundreds of revered independent releases, the band tapped into a space synonymous with unfiltered artistry.The result: Probable Claws (leave it to Sincere Engineer to pull a punny title out of the hat), a record that solidifies her punk-fueled catalogue as a formidable quartet. As Sincere Engineer frontwoman Deanna Belos continues to mine the deeply introspective terrain of her past work, the question remains: how does this latest chapter measure up? For starters, it leans into a thematic core that feels relatably universal, especially for anyone who has felt the pressure of lifes eternal ticking clock.I think the overall theme of this record is being uncomfortable with the passing of time and how quickly time passes, Belos shares. Not all the songs touch on that; theres some songs about me moving too fast through life myself.That sentiment pulses through the albums lead single, Cooler, which landed on streaming platforms in March. The track stands as a quintessential example of Sincere Engineers signature brand of cathartic, angst-fueled punk, refined, yet no less urgent. And while Belos audience now stretches to a global scale, her sound remains grounded in a gritty, blue-collar ethos, undeniably shaped by her Chicago, Illinois roots.
