Falsetto harmonies culminate in anthemic clamour, but scuzzier tracks among the B-sides suggest Jubilee haven’t left the filth and fury behind quite yet

Considering Jubilee is fronted by Aaron North - formerly of LA noiseniks The Icarus Line and industrial digi-rockers Nine Inch Nails - and completed by members of Wires On Fire and Queens of the Stone Age, their second single is surprisingly sedate. The fuzzy guitar hooks and a wistfully blissed-out middle-eight of falsetto harmonies culminate in excitingly anthemic clamour, reminiscent of The Weakerthans, coincidentally another ex-punk (in their case John Samson of Propaghandi) choosing radio-friendly indie rock over the more hard-hitting sound of yore. Scuzzier tracks among the B-sides, meanwhile, suggest they haven’t left the filth and fury behind quite yet. [Chris Buckle]
