LP with DL and lyrics insert. Digipack CD. File under: Indie. Acerbic yet winsome Scottish indiepoppers The Just Joans return with the dazzlingly maudlin collection of songs that hazily recall the past and contemplate the futility of the future. Follow-up to 2017s You Might Be Smiling Now& and contains the kind of melodies and mockery that led Uncut to class the band as the point at which Stephin Merritt lies down with The Vaselines. At the forefront remain the mischievous lyrics and heartfelt vocals of siblings David and Katie Pope, aided and abetted by Chris Elkin on lead guitar, Fraser Ford on bass guitar and Jason Sweeney on drums. Yet it is the recruitment of multi-instrumentalist Arion Xenos and guest appearance of Butcher Boys Alison Eales to arrange strings that have helped elevate the bands music to new heights. Their progression is most noticeable on lead single Dear Diary, I Died Again today, a painfully beautiful admission of everyday anxiety and When Nietzsche Calls, the triumphant cry of a spurned lover revelling in the misery of their ex to a backdrop of trumpets and violins. The juxtaposition of the fragility shown in these tracks with the menace of Wee Guys (Bobbys Got A Punctured Lung) an observation and understanding of the casual violence that once cast a shadow over the bands hometown highlights The Just Joans ability to seamlessly flip between sensitivity and danger, and sums up why Highway Queens described them as the perfect Glasgow kiss. The Private Memoirs and Confessions of the Just Joans is a veritable smorgasbord of misery, longing and unrequited love; stories of small town resentments, half-forgotten school friends, failing relationships and awkward workplace conversations A1) Hey Ho, Lets Not Go A2) Who Does Susan Think She Is? A3) Wee Guys (Bobbys Got a Punctured Lung) A4) My Undying Love For You Is Beginning To Die A5) When Nietzsche Calls B1) The Older I Get, The More I Dont Know B2) The One I Loathe The Least B3) Another Doomed Relationship B4) Holiday B5) People I Once Knew B6) Like Yesterday Again
