Pink Kink are hungry and horny on contagious sprint "Munchie Magic"
Liverpool-based quintet Pink Kink are following up disco-tinged jam "Bubblebutt" with another earful of hyperactive punk-pop glitter.
J-pop pep sprints through surfy riffs on "Munchie Magic", which we're told is "an anarchic anthem for sexual liberation". Boundless vocals - seemingly fuelled by blue Smarties and/or skipfulls of banned E numbers - tightrope between blunt-edged boudoir chatter and the imaginary feasts of sweet-toothed junk food junkies ("Chilli chips and rainbow-coloured spaghetti... I wanna eat you out!"). It's snappy and deliriously slapdash, with contagious hooks jabbed in at every possible moment.
"Since we wrote ['Bubblebutt'] we started to feel like we could express our political agenda way more freely in our music, so it influenced a lot the way our songwriting derived," Pink Kink told us recently. "We have a few other political songs or songs where we shout in a gang but mostly it's all about expressing what it feels to be like at this stage of our lives and to express all the dimensions that so far we've experienced as human beings at this moment in society."
