New Music: Junodef – Anemone

Published On: June 1st, 2023|

It’s a quick and welcome return to the blog for Swedish-born, London based art-rock outfit Junodef. The trio – Karin Grönkvist (guitar and vocals), Norea Persson (drums and electronics), and Tyra Örnberg (bass and vocals), follow up She Wants To Win with the thrilling chamber pop/gothic bop tones of Anemone.

Says Tyra about Anemone, “You could say it’s a song about lesbian nuns, but I also think it can be applied to a lot more… the lyrics grew into a song about sapphic desire and obsessive longing, accompanied by the overwhelming fear and anxiety born out of the good ol’ internalised homophobia. You could say it’s a song about lesbian nuns, but I also think it can be applied to a lot more and be relatable for quite a few people. It’s a pretty universal subject after all.”

Anemone is out now via Physical Education Recordings Limited and is also streaming on Amazon Music, Apple Music, and YouTube Music.

The song will feature on the trio’s Catastrophical EP, which is set for release on the 16th of June. Slide on over to the band’s Facebook and Instagram socials for more info on the EP and their appearance at he What’s Happenin festival in Birmingham this August Bank Holiday.
