Opus Kink have built a reputation on unpredictable, high-energy performances, fusing punk with jazz, country and a tangle of older musical forms. Their sound draws loose comparisons to post-punk and no-wave acts, but stands apart through its mix of choral elements, folk, Latin rhythms and cabaret theatrics, all driven by a biting, sardonic edge and a prominent horn section.
The Sweet Goodbye brings that restless approach into a fuller, more expansive setting, following a run of EPs and singles that established the band’s cult following. Produced by Craig Silvey, the album captures both their unruly live spirit and a growing sense of control in the arrangements.
The record also features a guest appearance from The New Eves on ‘The Head Tree’, adding another layer to an already rich and unpredictable sound.
