Ear Intriguers // Skunk Anansie

Ear Intriguers // Skunk Anansie

It’s tense isn’t it. You hear that your favourite band ever, like, ev. er. are reforming and nestled amongst the joy is the niggling feeling that they just might not be as good as you remembered. Let’s face it, Mini Milks only tasted so good because they were compounded with the taste of summer, pulled up socks and the bittersweet of handing over 10 pence of your weekly pocket money.

So as I wait a month for the release of Skunk Anansie’s fourth studio album, ‘Wonderlustre’, the first single dispels the torment. ‘My Ugly Boy’ is practically a part 2 from ‘We Love Your Apathy’, from ‘Post Orgasmic Chill’ musically, but it’s fecking infectious, so it’s no hardship getting more of what you love.

Here’s the new’un and an old’un by the same band.
