2 September 2025
New album artwork
JEHNNY BETH, France-born, former frontwoman of female post-punk band
Savages (2011-2017), released her solo debut album Love Is To Live back in
2020. A year later, she teamed up with Primal Scream‘s maestro Bobby Gillespie
for a romantic duet longplayer, called Utopian Ashes.
And now we can get flabbergasted by her bone-chilling, second full-length,
titled You Heartbreaker You. She wrote the album with her partner and
collaborator Johnny Hostile.
Beth: “We’re living in a dark time, full of drama and barbarous tragedy.
It became clear to me that, in these times, we either learn how to scream
really well, or we learn how to whisper.”
Kerrang says: “In a time where it seems everyone wants to make noisier music as an act of defiance against an increasingly cruel world, Jehnny Beth has found a way to stand out. She’s real, she’s raw, and everything here has such a strength of spirit to it that it feels truly alive.”
TUTV: Beth translates her dark and desperate visions on our world’s horrendous state of intolerance and dirty and deadly conflicts, with a crushing and industrial wall-of-trashing post-punk record. She hammers nine inch nails for 29 brutal minutes with 9 mindfuckers.
I guess this is how an electric chair experience must feel like.
Menacing blood-and-guts percussion and her (at times) creepy vocals dominate
the louder than war brouhaha that blasts out of our speakers. Our planet is about
to collapse, Beth made a doom and gloom opus to soundtrack the catastrophe.
