JOANNA GRUESOME / PERFECT PUSSY
ASTONISHING ADVENTURES EP (FORTUNA POP!)
7" EP with Comic book Thrilling Cardiff-based noisepop group Joanna Gruesome have teamed up with their American cousins Perfect Pussy to release a remarkable four song split 7" EP.
The release comes packaged in a 24-page comic book, illustrated by cartoonist Phil McAndrew).
The two JG tracks here follow their recently released split EP with Trust Fund and represent some of the first new material to be heard from the band since the release of "Weird Sister" and, in lead track "Psykick Espionage" a taste of their new album to be released in the first half of 2015.
Their second track "...And Keep Reaching for Those Stars" is a cover of a song by 90s US emo band I Hate Myself.
From Syracuse, New York, Perfect Pussy are one of the most intriguing projects to surface in recent years.
Veiled beneath layers of exquisitely abrasive noise, frontwoman Meredith Graves' lyrics are disarming, brutally honest and poetic, possessing a feverish intensity that can only be matched by her electric stage presence.
On this EP Perfect Pussy cover Björk's old band the Sugarcubes' "Leash Called Love" and also contribute the new track "Adult World (The Secret)".
