Desperate Journalist - No Hero (2024)

Never knowingly lacking in a strife of surprises, crescendonically deadpan quartet Desperate Journalist return to the musical affray with a brand new single, 'Unsympathetic Parts 1 and 2'. This is the first track to be taken from their fifth album, entitled No Hero on Fierce Panda Records.

As creative re-entries go, 'Unsympathetic Parts 1 and 2' is a gleaming, beaming signpost towards a longplayer which sees Desperate Journalist push and pull their original noirish indie sound into newer, ever more nubile shapes and jagged angles without losing that glowering essence rare.

Desperate Journalist very much consist of Jo Bevan (vocals, synths and drum machine); Robert Hardy (guitars, synths and piano); Caroline Helbert (drums, drum machines and percussion); Simon Drowner (bass and synths).
