Our Take

Ah, The Just Joans, the band that never fails to put a smile on your face while simultaneously breaking your heart. In their latest offering, "You Might Be Smiling Now...", the Scottish indie pop outfit serves up a delightfully bittersweet collection of songs that are as infectious as they are melancholic.

From the opening track "Dear Diary, I Died Again Today" to the closing notes of "Steal the Limelight", The Just Joans take us on a rollercoaster of emotions with their trademark blend of witty lyrics and jangly guitars. Lead singer Katie Pope's vocals are as charming as ever, delivering lines like "I'm not much of a people person, unless those people are Steely Dan" with a knowing twinkle in her eye.

The band's knack for storytelling shines through on tracks like "My Undying Love For You Is Beginning To Die" and "Another Miserable Day". These songs are like little nuggets of indie pop gold, capturing the mundane yet profound moments of everyday life with a dry wit and a killer hook.

Overall, "You Might Be Smiling Now..." is another triumph for The Just Joans, a band that continues to prove that you don't have to take yourself too seriously to make seriously good music. So go on, pop on this record, grab a cuppa, and let The Just Joans soundtrack your next wistful, yet oddly joyful, afternoon. Cheers!
