JUNK have a flair to performance and theatrics that make them what they are. The San Diego based outfit thrive off their eclecticism, making music that defies categorisation and convention in any which way. On “Squaking like a Bird!”, the group make a political satirical piece that incorporate elements of hip-hop with an arrangement that’s classically jazz and soul driven. The track decries the overwhelming number of self-proclaimed internet experts that spout all kinds of drivel on the internet, feeding into conspiracy theories and doomerism that can trap many a gullible mind or send them down rabbit holes leading to something way worse.
Using a real recording of live birds, JUNK spare no punches to make their point as emphatic as possible. The sheer disdain behind the I don’t care in the chorus just makes it all that much more palpable a listen. Fresh and timely, this is an exciting and pertinent piece for the days we live in.
