Trunky Juno returns with a splendidly massive Bedroom Pop chorus on New Single ‘It’s a Trip’

“The appetising blend of hazy dream-pop and a nostalgic ballad make for a memorable recipe that lingers like an anthem long after the song finishes.” (The Line Of Best Fit)
“Bedroom pop with a lot of love” (Dork)

Since first emerging with his debut single ‘Small Town’ at the beginning of 2019,the lo-fi frontman has always looked to deliver a multifaceted and eclectic aesthetic to his music. With notable call-backs to the romance of the 80s new wave era, the charming tones of dream-pop, and whimsy of modern day crooners like Father John Misty and Mac DeMarco, the singer and producer always looks to serenade us with his quirky musings and offbeat personality.

This latest offering ‘It’s a Trip’ sees Trunky Juno with all levels turned up to the maximum, sounding more pop, more quirky, and more irreverent than ever before, as the track journeys through some very calm and chilled verses, towards the most hard hitting and anthemic chorus of Trunky’s unique catalogue so far.

As a lament on the toils of modern life and melted cheese, the track delivers profoundly, and is quite possibly the most relatable, and grounded release to date from Trunky Juno to date.

‘It’s a Trip’ pushes the boundaries of how bedroom pop is supposed to sound, and while elements of the signature lofi indie sound heard in prior releases can be heard here, there is obviously a much heightened attention to detail, in a much more sleek and polished pop production.

Captured within the artwork this time around is Bruce, at his most bodacious.

‘It’s a Trip’ by Trunky Juno is available on all platforms on October 29th 2019 via Silent Kid Records. Trunky Juno will showcase his songs at The Cluny in Newcastle on Wednesday 27th November 2019.

lyrics

Empty, waking up in your twenties
What you don’t know is now in stereo
Is this where you expected to be

You’re lost in translation
Like you’ve always been
Expectations with a little shame

I can see who you are
But no you’re never gonna set her free

What’s the worst thing I could say
I’m the one who seems finds out every day

Oh my god it’s a trip
I like things you think they’re shit
Cut my hair in different ways
Something new but I’m still the same

I can’t be the one you need
When you smile, too many teeth
Just the same with extra cheese
In my heart it’s killing me

Selfish, or so it seems
when I’m not thinking
I wash my face
And I tie back my hair

Can you see who I am
Are you ever gonna let me be
