Brighton based sextet Opus Kink sing about a man bading farewell to his loved on their new single The Sweet Goodbye. Their mix of jazz, folk and punk is spiced up by a full-on choral section, straight out the Eastern European playbook. Over the top? Yes. Does that matter? Not one a bit, because when the emotions run high so should the music. The video was made by Kyle McCarthy & Reuben Davies Lindley.
The Head Tree is released via SO Recordings. It is the lead single for their new album The Sweet Goodbye, due for release on July 31 (vinyl, CD, digital), available for pre-order here.
