“Luscious, yet mysterious French ‘yéyé noir’ 8/10 Uncut”A well-constructed, unselfconsciously retro set” MOJO ★★★★”an escapist gem” 8.5 Line of Best Fit”stylish 60s garage pop” QThe “yéyé noir” of Juniore has always been rooted in the cinematic as much as the musical. The Paris outfit’s blending of 1960s French pop, hazy psychedelia, seamless pop, surf grooves and lush orchestration feels as intertwined with big screen aesthetics as greatly as it does being found in the grooves of vinyl. So it makes perfect sense that the band would sooner or later find themselves appearing on more film and TV soundtracks, including the universally lauded drama Killing Eve.

The Homesick tour the UK in AprilThe Big Exercise out now on Sub Pop
“The Homesick like a good tune. Fans of self-possessed art-pop are directed here” MOJO ★★★★”They’ve always been a potentially great band, but The Big Exercise is majestic, a true statement of intent.” The QuietusWith aplomb, The Homesick have made a record impregnated with impressions which – when superimposed – still fit neatly under the pop umbrella. “The Homesick is allowed to play around in that pop framework, and the goal is to explore what’s possible within it. You can do super radical and weird things, and at the same time convey it all as straightforward pop music. With this album, I hope people will hear things anew after multiple listens.” vocalist Jaap van der Velde enthuses.
