??? Their last single release was in 2019, EP in 2017 and album in 2016. They've been there the whole time :P

I guessed that but have the debut album on Cd from when I was a student and haven’t heard of them personally much since then lol!

Justine Go Genesis has just been released this afternoon

 

I loved the singles off their debut but I wasn't ever a huge fan of 'Comeback Kid' and I can't say I even remember any of the other songs they dropped after that (may have never heard any others lol) but I am loving 'Locust Laced'!

True Seekers is out today ahead of the album release this week

 

Enjoying this and its singles more than anything since their debut album, a really great return to form.

Not really into 'True Seekers' but I enjoyed both of the first two singles so checked out the album anyway - they saved some of the best songs for the album release, 'SWEET75' and 'An Acre Lost' are great in particular to kick off the album. I think the album is a little frontloaded in general and the quality falls off a lot after track 6 (bar 'Red Flag Flies') but those first 6 tracks are just banger after banger *.*

Update after another listen of my faves: I think what I said in that last post is broadly still right but 'Red Flag Flies' is actually a lot more of a highlight than I was giving it credit for, hitting me way harder on second listen. Giving me some The Prodigy vibes.
