Opus Kink<\/a> have announced their debut album \u2018The Sweet Goodbye\u2019 with the jazz-infused lead single \u2018Come Over, Do Me Wrong\u2019 and new UK and European tour dates.<\/p>\n

Following on from the Brighton post-punk band two previous EPs \u20132022\u2019s \u2018\u2019Til The Stream Runs Dry\u2019 and 2023\u2019s \u2018My Eyes, Brother!\u2019 \u2013 their debut LP will arrive on July 31 via So Recordings and is available to pre-order here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Promising to capture their signature blend of jazz, country, indie and punk, \u2018The Sweet Goodbye\u2019 was produced and mixed by Craig Silvey (Florence & The Machine<\/a>, Sam Fender<\/a>) and engineered by Dani Spragg (Wunderhorse<\/a>, English Teacher<\/a>). Today (Tuesday March 31), the band shared the first preview of the record with the charismatic lead single \u2018Come Over, Do Me Wrong\u2019.<\/p>\n

Easing in with a captivating, sultry horn melody, the track gradually builds alongside the swooning vocals of frontman Angus Rogers.<\/p>\n

\u201cI try, like any good man\/ To distinguish my boredom from pain\/ Oh happy day, reasons for living \/ I have accepted the joke as it came,\u201d he sings, building towards the anthemic, slightly melancholic chorus. \u201cSideways, sweet love\/ The night so long\/ Dead face, cold glove\/ Come over, do me wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n

Speaking about the single, Rogers said: \u201cHalf of any good thing is its proximity to its end; half of any good thing is the reason it cannot be yours. \u2018Come Over, Do Me Wrong\u2019 is a song about the hallucinogenic qualities of a doomed love affair and its toxic allure, the mad philosophical leap of \u2018I don\u2019t care what you do as long as you do it to me.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

The track carries the same themes that are explored throughout the album; centring around violence, shame and emptiness, all delivered with an unmistakable absurdist twist.<\/p>\n

As well as sharing new music, Opus Kink have also announced a new UK and European headline tour, which kicks off in November, and features shows in Glasgow, Manchester, London and more.<\/p>\n

European shows take place across December, opening with a gig at the Point FMR in Paris and closing with a gig at the Botanique in Brussels on December 16. Before then, the six-piece have some festival slots lined-up too, as well as a slot opening for The Libertines<\/a> at Rochester Castle.<\/p>\n

Last summer, Opus Kink released \u2018A Hideous Collection\u2019<\/a> \u2013 a compilation of 24 tracks to support the Music Venue Trust<\/a> and the UK Touring Artists Fund, which featured contributions from Wunderhorse,\u00a0English Teacher,\u00a0Katy J Pearson<\/a>,\u00a0Lambrini Girls<\/a> and more.<\/p>\n

\u201cTouring independent music venues is like this. The most passionate organisers are the ones who do it on a shoestring and are often one bad season away from crumbling,\u201d the Brighton band shared at the time.<\/p>\n

\u201cSupport for these venues and humans is starting to glimmer in the ashes through donations and awareness and the work of groups like MVT, but as always, unfortunately, it must also take wresting a more fundamental and top\u2013down offering from the industry to really stay the decimation of grassroots live music culture in this country.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Opus Kink have announced their debut album \u2018The Sweet Goodbye\u2019 with the jazz-infused lead single \u2018Come Over, Do…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":375804,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[635,93,61,636,60,27556,15533,278,84549],"class_list":{"0":"post-375803","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-alternative","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-ie","11":"tag-indie","12":"tag-ireland","13":"tag-jazz","14":"tag-live-music-news","15":"tag-music","16":"tag-punk"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/375803","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=375803"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/375803\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/375804"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=375803"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=375803"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=375803"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
