Junky Love – Post-Gentrification Blues
Junky Love - Post-Gentrification Blues
Release Date: Out Now
Not many bands would be brave
enough to open a single with the line “this is an organisational myopia for the
Instagram generation” but then not many bands are Junky Love. The psyche-doom
quartet spout their social commentary atop laconic guitars and drunken drums
like a poet ranting in the corner of a daybreak bar after an Absinthe binge.
During the chorus, a Libertines meets Leonard Cohen melody breaks out before
the repeated refrain of “You’re already dead” is driven home like the political
slogan of a desperate government. Sparse, bleak and certainly not party music
but all the more delicious and sumptuous for it. All six minutes of this taste
divine like a twelve-course tasting menu and I would urge you tuck in before it
gets cold.
