PUP have never been ones to shy away from the gloomier side of life – take their cheerily titled last album ‘The Dream Is Over’. Yet there’s been a twisted mirror-image to their negativity, the sense of a band relishing their own existential crises. They revel in misery, but do so with maniacal smiles plastered across their faces.
‘Morbid Stuff’ (another positivity-packed title there) is that double-edged sword sharpened to a point. “It doesn’t matter anyway – I don’t care about nothing but you,” comes the soaring chorus to lead single ‘Kids’, a nihilistic anthem about that friend you’d like to share the end of days with.
