Opus Kink releases debut album “The Sweet Goodbye”

Brighton‑based post‑punk sextet Opus Kink has issued its first full‑length record, The Sweet Goodbye, following a debut single in 2019. The album mixes post‑punk, jazz, ska and folk influences, highlighted by a prominent brass section of trumpet and saxophone. Lead vocalist and songwriter Angus Rogers delivers half‑sung, half‑spoken lyrics that explore themes of toxic relationships and societal misfits. Notable tracks include the opening “Come Over, Do Me Wrong”, the title track “The Sweet Goodbye”, and “The Head Tree”, which features guest vocals from The New Eves. Reviewers note the band’s theatrical live reputation and the album’s varied sound, ranging from dark, bass‑driven pieces to upbeat, brass‑driven numbers.
