mary in the junkyard's Role Model Hermit officially arrives on 3 July, and the London trio's debut still feels like one of the week's key art-pop/post-punk events. Bandcamp Daily already gave the record Album of the Day attention, and the Bandcamp release page confirms the album's arrival with tracks including Mantra III, Blood, Seek And Destroy, New Muscles, Myrtle and Peter The Dog. The band's magic lies in the unstable triangle between Clari Freeman-Taylor's voice, David Addison's off-kilter drumming and Saya Barbaglia's viola, which refuses to behave like tasteful ornament. Role Model Hermit sounds like a debut that knows how to remain feral while becoming more fully written. The weirdness is not cleaned up. It is aimed. That is usually when a young band becomes dangerous.
