Brighton indie favourites Opus Kink release brand new single ‘Low Roader’ out now via So Recordings (Placebo, Enter Shikari, Deadletter, Big Special).
Marking their first slice of new material since the release of acclaimed debut album The Sweet Goodbye in July, ‘Low Roader’ arrives ahead of the group’s mammoth UK and European headline tour kicking off next week 17 November, which includes their biggest headline show to date at London’s iconic O2 Forum Kentish Town.
Detailing their new track, frontman Angus Rogers added:
“‘Low Roader’ is a song concerning complacency, ignorance and historical amnesia. The verse melody is appropriated from the traditional Scottish song ‘Loch Lomond.’ The ‘low road’ is the fairy route by which the dead travel back to their home country. It’s already at your door. Recorded at breakneck speed in Brighton following a frantic album & festival season.”
Through their songs concerning violence, evil, shame, troubled sexual politics, anxiety and emptiness, all served with a wry absurdist bent, Opus Kink have crafted an alluring nether-world for their voracious audiences to plunge into and attracted significant praise in the process. Produced by Jake Smallwood, Opus Kink’s ‘Low Roader’ is out now via So Recordings and available on all digital platforms.
Opus Kink is Angus Rogers (lead vocals, guitars), Sam Abbo (bass, backing vocals), Fin Abbo (drums, percussion), Jazz Pope (keys, synth, backing vocals), Jack Banjo Courtney (trumpet), Jed Morgans (saxophone).
