Ahead of next month's release of album number three, the intriguingly entitled In Search of The Miraculous (which I'm assuming is named after Bas Jan Ader's final work), indie rock four-piece Desperate Journalist have unleashed another screamer of a single upon the world.
Satellite is a jaw-dropping four minutes and twenty seconds of biting lyrics that lead into a melodic chorus, delivered over a guitar riff that won't do your lumbago any good at all. Jo Bevan's soaring vocals, Simon Drowner's driven bassline and Caroline Helbert's powered drumming join together with guitarist Rob Hardy's stellar solo (which is truly a thing of indie rock beauty) to create a song that practically demands repeated listening.
Unlike previous release Cedars which, I'll admit, took me a few listens to fully appreciate the wonder of, Satellite grabbed me firmly by the lapels and demanded my attention.
The single is available for purchase now via all good digital platforms, new album In Search of The Miraculous is released on Friday 22nd February and can be pre-ordered via Bandcamp.
