Cheery title, right?
“While I was writing ‘Peanut Butter’, Saturn transitioned into retrograde and for obvious reasons I ended up losing two songs,” says Joanna Gruesome songwriter Owen Williams. “We’ve recently managed to unearth them, record them and press them onto a 7″ single.”
That 7″ single features ‘Pretty Fucking Sick of It All’ and ‘Occult Bookshop’, the first of which is accompanied by a grainy avant-garde video.
“I wanted to write about the confused nature of my own gender identity and being non binary generally,” Willians continues. “But I also wanted two songs about Occult forces, espionage and using astrological means to strengthen, receive and administer crushes.”
‘Pretty Fucking Sick Of It All’ captures that atmosphere in its full glory, ferocious and eerie in equal measures.
Joanna Gruesome were also recently confirmed to play A Carefully Planned Festival, following a number of live dates later in the year.
