A dark and riotous double A side from Brighton-based noisy post-punkers Morning Smoke, this duo skids with fever and lack of direction, with smoky tension on the lead guitar cavorting with anguish with the tormented bass riffs. Milo McNulty’s vocals echo with Joy Division and Sonic Youth style emotion, angst ridden and drowning in raw distress, harking back to classic and drama heavy tracks. Hunger is a powerful tune, the heavily reverberated guitars running with an unbound and slightly sinster energy, whilst the layers of subtle spoken French flirting with the fizzing and grainy chords on Stephanie, I suggest an almost menacing romance.
