Noirishly nourishing North London alt.gothic rocksters Desperate Journalist release their second album, "Grow Up", ostensibly eleven tracks of rocketing leftfield delights propelled forth with thundering rhythms, thunderously spectacular guitar and Jo Bevans thunderstruck vocals. Desperate Journalist is one of the most potent, important DIY bands lurking on the UK underground scene right now. "Grow Up" kicks off with the heroically muscular single "Hollow", the album sees Desperate Journalist building on the sublimely tetchy mood swings of their 2014 self-titled debut and the tense interim "Good Luck" EP by adding a fresh sonic sheen to their old school indie stroppings. They sound meatier and bolder, yet are still infused with a keen pop sensibility
