“With their ever-mutating brand of jazz-and-country-laced punk, Opus Kink have always cut a singular figure in a saturated landscape. Making their name with incendiary, cult-like live shows, the band — formed in Brighton in 2017 — have developed a sound as elusive as it is recognizable. Underscored by a formidable horn section and ragged, sardonic delivery, the band bear passing resemblance to post-punk and no-wave acts like The Pop Group, Birthday Party and Lounge Lizards, but it’s the weaving of older, more traditional influences — choral, folk, country, Latin, Weimar cabaret, cruise-ship-crooning — into the fabric of their music that sets them apart.
Their highly anticipated debut album “The Sweet Goodbye” is released via So Recordings and follows a series of EPs and singles.
The album is produced by Grammy award-winning producer and mixer Craig Silvey (Arcade Fire, Florence and The Machine, Baxter Dury, REM, Kronos Quartet, Sam Fender), with album track ‘The Head Tree’ featuring The New Eves (No.1 Independent album in 2025).
The debut album ‘The Sweet Goodbye’ released 31st of July.
New single ‘Come Over, Do Me Wrong’ out now.
