Pain Olympics is the debut studio album by Canadian musical collective, Crack Cloud, released July 17, 2020 via Meat Machine Records.
[5] The group's drummer and lead vocalist, Zach Choy explained the single was made as tribute "to remember the people we’ve lost to suicide and drug overdose".
[8][9][10] Described by the collective as "a stylized portrait" of consumerism within a "predatory media landscape", the video touches on those themes in an abstract and surrealist nature, while featuring brief pop culture references to the Dark web, Malcolm X, The Seventh Seal and Muchmusic.
The fourth and final single, Favour Your Fortune[15] was released October 16, 2020 with an overwhelmingly, dystopian music video, starring Cree-Canadian professional skateboarder, Joe Buffalo.
