Description

The Goon Sax are James Harrison, Louis Forster and Riley Jones from Brisbane, Australia. Their brand of awkwardly transcendent teenage guitar pop (they were still in high school when they made their first album, ‘Up To Anything,’ in 2016) took them into end-of-year lists for BBC 6 Music, Billboard and Rough Trade, and earned them raves from the Guardian, Pitchfork, Spin, Uncut, Rolling Stone and elsewhere. Their new album ‘We're Not Talking’ shows how much can change between the ages of 17 and 19. Relationships are now laced with hesitation, remorse, misunderstanding and, ultimately, compassion. Delivering brilliantly human and brutally honest vignettes of adolescent angst, The Goon Sax brim with personality, charm and heart-wrenching honesty. ‘We’re Not Talking’ is a record made by restless artists, defying expectations as if hardly noticing, and its complexity makes it even more of a marvel.
