Anorexic Sumotori – Ticket to Ride

Anorexic Sumotori’s “Ticket to Ride” is a raw, lo-fi bursting of alternative rock that sounds like a lost gem from the early 1990s underground scene. The song begins with a bass-driven beat that recalls Nirvana’s grungy aesthetic, but with a minor surf rock twist in the guitar tones. Under the fuzz and distortion, there’s an identifiable punk energy that drives the track’s rebellious, unpolished mindset. The production leans primarily toward garage rock, with a purposefully raw and kaleidoscopic lo-fi vibe. While more clarity might help the mix stand out, the track’s rough “picture” is part of its style—it lives on imperfection while staying faithful to the primal core of rock ‘n’ roll. There’s no need for sophisticated studio manipulation here; instead, “Ticket to Ride” provides pure personality , making it an essential music for fans of raw rock.
