Opus Kink – “Low Roader”
Opus Kink have released “Low Roader”, their first new single since their debut album, *The Sweet Goodbye*, came out this summer. The track reworks the traditional Scottish folk song “The Bonnie Banks o’ Loch Lomond”, turning its sombre story of lovers separated by death into a more forceful, swaggering song.
The arrangement combines a menacing pace with circling saxophones and gritty surf-rock guitars. Its sound is described as falling between ska-punk and jazzy rockabilly, giving the folk melody a markedly different feel.
In short
- Opus Kink have released a new single, “Low Roader”.
- It reworks the Scottish folk song “The Bonnie Banks o’ Loch Lomond”.
- Saxophones and surf-rock guitars shape its gritty, swaggering sound.
