JEEN - Better Drugs

We're big fans of JEEN's nostalgic guitar-driven scuzz. We're also consistently stumped as to why the Canadian grunge-peddlar isn't absolutely massive.

Our single of the week is part of a double single release from Canada's JEEN.

Riffy with double-tracked vocals and quicksand fuzz, the single is grunge at its finest. JEEN is a bit of an anomaly. With press releases that are written more like personal emails, and everything written, produced, photographed from a DIY standpoint, it's like your friend sharing their latest bedroom project with you. If your friend was a fantastic songwriter (Jeen composes for film and TV) with a swagger that's simultaneously melancholy and uplifting.

Both 'Better Drugs' and its AA-side, 'Fair To Move On' will be on her next LP, Dog Bite, out October 2021 and co-produced with bandmate, Ian Blurton (Change of Heart, C'mon, Future Now).

STALKER RESOURCES:

NO ONE CARES WHAT YOU THINK, BUT LEAVE A COMMENT ANYWAY

Rekindle all your Avril Lavigne angst with the new double single from King Princess.

Platypus Complex' debut single writhes around your noggin, which is exactly what we'd hoped to hear from these desert-driven psychedelic instrumentalists.

Southend meets Salerno, or is it Portsmouth meets Puglia, who knows? Wherever you are this summer the ride is relentless.
