Tonight a couple of us are going to watch The Cure Troxy gig at the cinema, so probably the right time to wheel out this story…

From note 1 of song 1 to the last strains of the not-an-encore, @despjournalist.bsky.social were on superb form at a very full, very warm @thelexingtonlondon.bsky.social last night. A band - a voice - that I could never tire of hearing.

I can never listen to this song without stopping what I’m doing, sitting down, listening and admiring its utter perfection and beauty. Jaw dropping. Can’t wait to see @despjournalist.bsky.social live again. They’re absolutely the best.

#NowPlaying @despjournalist.bsky.social Desperate Journalist - In Search Of The Miraculous (2019) I have a theory that if this band had existed 30 years earlier they would have been every bit as big as U2/Smiths/Cure/Simple Minds. Soaring goth-tinged indie capped off with Jo Bevan's commanding voice

#albumoftheday @despjournalist.bsky.social Desperate Journalist - Maximum Sorrow! (2021) I might have bought their whole back catalogue, and this 1st play suggests this is their best so far. Intense & mature post punk. Clear lineage but wonderful. Best track - Fine In The Family #NowPlaying

#albumoftheday @despjournalist.bsky.social Desperate Journalist (2014) Full length debut from London-based post punks. Their influences weigh heavily, but this is no criticism when their antecedents were so good. Jo Bevan's spellbinding, confident voice - WOW Best track - Nothing #NowPlaying
