Like a sausage supper or a good slug of whisky, The Just Joans will keep you warm during these dark winter months. One of Scotland’s greatest indie bands, they’ve been around for two decades, and their latest LP mixes their trademark sardonic humour with a new year music cocktail of Blur, The Kinks, Elastica and The Lightning Seeds.
Led by siblings David and Katie Pope, The Just Joans’ latest album, Romantic Visions of Scotland, is about “mundane failings, bitter regrets and missed opportunities”, perfect for those January blues. There are great titles like ‘Strictly Presbyterian’, ‘Here Come the Rugby Boys’ and ‘Drinking On a Weeknight’ and whipsmart lyrics like ‘Back On the Meds’ ‘I started crying in the chip shop / Do you want salt and vinegar?’
