Brighton art-punk group Opus Kink release debut album ‘The Sweet Goodbye’ on 31 July through SO Recordings. The Brighton group have built their reputation on theatrical art-punk, brass, dramatic storytelling and performances that feel one misplaced chair away from becoming a beautifully choreographed emergency. The album includes ‘Come Over, Do Me Wrong’, ‘I’m A Pretty Showboy’, ‘Peckham Nocturne’, ‘Crucify!’ and the wonderfully precise ‘448 C (The Colour of Love)’.
Those titles suggest romance, vanity, danger and irony will all be sharing one crowded table. A debut album gives Opus Kink space to turn the unruly energy of their earlier releases into a complete world rather than a sequence of isolated incidents. The goodbye may be sweet, but listeners should probably count the silverware afterward. Read more art-punk news in our Punk & Alternative section.
