Opus Kink – ‘The Sweet Goodbye’ album review: A magnum opus worth waiting for

Far Out’s review gives Opus Kink’s debut album, ‘The Sweet Goodbye’, four stars, arguing that it successfully captures the volatile, theatrical energy of the band’s live performances. The reviewer considers it a substantial artistic arrival after an eight-year wait, praising its ability to combine numerous influences without sounding disjointed.

The album blends brass-heavy jazz-punk, country-punk, rock and pop across tracks including opener ‘Come Over, Do Me Wrong’, named as the standout, and ‘I’m a Pretty Showboy’. A collaboration with The New Eves recounts the story of Alice Molland, the last woman tried and executed for witchcraft in England; the album was produced by Craig Silvey and is due for release on 31 July 2026 via So Recordings.
