The Manchester post-punk four-piece have kick-started 2021 with their new single ‘Freezer Jesus’. After being championed by Tom Robinson and Tim Burgess in 2020, can they follow up on their early success?
The single is available on their Bandcamp page.
Their debut single ‘Mannequin’ was littered with post-punk bleeps and, ‘Freezer Jesus’ has upped the ante. The production and keys tentatively emerge before culminating in something far grander, akin to Bugeye’s thrill-seeking debut ‘Ready Steady Bang’. Escorting it there is a sexed-up bassline creating a groove worthy of Ian Brown’s lo-fi debut ‘Unfinished Monkey Business’.
Their attack on shopping as a release from boredom is one well-worn but, they keep fresh by adopting the position of a preacher in the closing stages.
In an era of such uncertainty, their unique and amusing take on the world is sure-fire to inspire new generations to pick up guitars and fight for their futures.
