14/03/25 Showcasing whip-smart spikiness remains, and a gorgeous weirdness matched by very few others, it's easy to see why wonk pop 7-piece KEGare one of the most talked about ban ds of 2024. Soon they'll be THE band of 2025.Their forthcoming debut album Fun’s Over represents the culmination of KEG's initial forays into life, and as such leaps all over—from themelodic to the demented with all the enthusiasm of a very lively bean salad. Sharp angling guitarwork that would be at home both on aFugazi or a Wilco record. Cascading synths and drums, pepperings of trombone and lyrics which invite you into a baffled man's brain full of joyand anxiety.Contrary to the previous releases the album takes its time, allowing Keg to showcase the orchestral leanings of the band, melding texturesand battering-ram rhythms, whilst all the time managing to hone their carefully manipulated balance of chaos and order.Recorded between the studio and home, Keg have refined their DIY approach this time around, producing the record themselves withengineering help from Pozi’s Toby Burroughs and mixed by Connor Simpkins.Offsetting the braggadocious shredding and bombastic instrumentation the lyrics on the album take a much less cocksureapproach—beckoning you into a yearning for suburban living, slightly embarrassing admissions of inadequacy, the feeling of creative failurefreeing the imagination, taking pleasure in the mundanity of an unsure mind, bathing for freedom, and just a couple simple love songs. ● Clown red X midnight blue galaxy vinyl*● Signed KEG lino print by Joel Whitaker, designed by Albert Haddenham(vocalist) *● Cut-out-and-keep Frank (the guitarist) Mask*● Limited pressing of 400 **EXCLUSIVE to Dinked Edition 322 Show more
