Brighton indie staples Opus Kink share brand new track ‘Will It Come For You?’, out now (BBC 6 Music Steve Lamacq track premiere) and taken from debut LP ‘The Sweet Goodbye’ (pre-order here) arriving July 31st via So Recordings (Placebo, Enter Shikari, Deadletter, Big Special).
Detailing their newest LP reveal, frontman Angus Rogers explained: “‘Will It Come For You?’ is a song about searching for your function in the world, the fear that there might not be one, and the sense of an encroaching fate different and maybe more terrible than you had imagined. It’s also about becoming more jaded, more afraid that the world will find ways to dash your hopes, and wondering if you can break through that and discover new ways to live within the ascribed hellscape!”
Hot on the heels of LP offerings ‘The Head Tree’ (feat. The New Eves), album title-track ‘The Sweet Goodbye’ and BBC 6 Music B-Listed lead single ‘Come Over, Do Me Wrong’, the group’s newest effort ‘Will It Come For You?’ enters bounding, wonky pop territory, and showcases the band’s manic absorption of influences shining through the discipline of the record’s new-yet-ancient sound. It also arrives alongside news of a hometown album launch show at Brighton’s Concorde 2 (Terrace) on August 6th.
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 acclaim in the process. Across the press landscape, the group have been championed by the likes of The Sunday Times, The Independent, NME, MOJO, Stereogum, DIY, Dork, So Young, The Line Of Best Fit, Clash, Rolling Stone UK, The Needle Drop, Under The Radar, as well as notching up three appearances on the BBC 6 Music playlist (Steve Lamacq, Lauren Laverne, Craig Charles, Huw Stephens) and countless BBC 1 Radio spins (Jack Saunders).
Hitting the festival circuit extensively this summer ahead of their album release (incl. Green Man Festival + Viagra Boys & The Libertines support slots) Opus Kink will follow that up with a full UK and European headline tour in the autumn (biggest ever headline show at London’s O2 Forum Kentish Town) as they celebrate the arrival of ‘The Sweet Goodbye’.
Produced by Grammy Award-winning producer and mixer Craig Silvey (Florence & The Machine, Baxter Dury, REM, Kronos Quartet, Sam Fender) and engineer Dani Spragg (Wunderhorse, English Teacher, Black Midi), Opus Kink’s ‘Will It Come For You?’ 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)
