English favorites The Popguns knew we needed just one more release to mark 25 Matinée releases for 2025, so they batched two additional recordings from their recent Brighton Electric Studio sessions into a celebratory new EP (matda058)!
The lush, swooning tones of ‘Who Never Found Love’ picture a late night, barroom scene featuring a crowd who—through choice or otherwise—are left behind to drown their memories whilst others return to their homes: “In the backroom of the bar is a voice of whiskey and smoke, singing who will write the songs for those of us, who never found love?”
Second track ‘Orion’ is an indie-rock smash encouraging a path of endeavour and daring, despite whatever apparently imperfect hand the gods may have dealt us.
That rumor of a new Popguns album next year is looking better and better… In the meantime, the ‘Who Never Found Love’ EP is available in the Matinée shop and all streaming services. Happy 2025, indeed!
