4th Album from Desperate JournalistIt was a damned Good Friday as Easter 2021 saw the return of noirish alt.goth roustabouts DESPERATE JOURNALIST who piled back into the eerily empty marketplace with a brand new single called Fault on April 2nd. Fault is the first track to be hauled from Desperate Journalists thoroughly forthright fourth album Maximum Sorrow! recorded entirely in Crouch End in the midst of the Covid pandemic and due for release on a multitude of formats on July 2nd.Driven along by Simon Drowners ear-popping bassline Fault finds the quartet in impeccably brutalist form all banshee howls and self-lacerating lyrics from singer Jo Bevan And those teenage hangups are hard to beat When your closet is piled up with defeat she snaps at one especially prickly point as alongside her guitarist Rob Hardy and drummer Caz Hellbent can only add fiery fuel to the sonic flamings.It fits too like much of the rest of the album Fault is both playful and like the finest public house pint glass half-full of rage where swirling Heart Of Glass synths are serenaded by shattered lyrics and Poison Pen manages to put down put-down lines like You are oh so tall and sesquipedalian without somehow sounding like a pompous arse. Because this is Desperate Journalist in hyper-dynamic form super sleek but never sickly slick ambitious and expansive but still self-effacingly DIY to the core. If the Maximum Sorrow! title is punchy then the music ripples with alt.rock muscle built up over seven years of relentless gigging and releases like a fierce panther on the prowl.There are traditional desperate journeys to the heart of darkness - check the doomily concise disintegrations of Armageddon for starters. And there are brilliantly-lit light touches the swooning elegance of Utopia the sardonic melody rushing sass of Personality Girlfriend the madrigal calm of Formaldehyde a tragic finale on any other album but the opener here.
