Fun's Over

Showcasing whip-smart spikiness remains, and a gorgeous weirdness matched by very few others, it's easy to see why Keg are one of the most talked about bands of 2024. Soon they'll be the band of 2025. Their forthcoming debut album Fun's Over represents the culmination of Keg's initial forays into life, and as such leaps all over—from the melodic to the demented with all the enthusiasm of a very lively bean salad. Sharp angling guitarwork that would be at home both on a Fugazi or a Wilco record. Cascading synths and drums, pepperings of trombone and lyrics which invite you into a baffled man's brain full of joy and anxiety. Contrary to the previous releases, the album takes its time, allowing Keg to showcase the orchestral leanings of the band, melding textures and battering-ram rhythms, whilst all the time managing to hone their carefully manipulated balance of chaos and order.
