Good Fuck
Good Fuck
(Joyful Noise Recordings)
1/5
Tim Kinsella and Jenny Pulse describe their debut LP collaborating as Good Fuck as an “erotic exploration of experimental literary techniques” in the press material accompanying this album and mention that they’ve “consummated their love on disc” here.
Sure, but to me the first word that came to mind as the album began was “pretentious.” The artists may want to believe the work is elevated, but instead it reads as phony. The result is an off-putting experience overall.
It’s ironic that they’ve named their band Good Fuck, as the music is more akin to an awkward fuck you can’t wait to be over. It’s a bumpy, rhythm-less ride with unpleasant vocals that are painful to listen to.
It’s possible that the content is simply too personal for listeners to relate to, but I think the aforementioned issues are to blame.
This album is the kind of sex you never wanted and didn’t ask for. Would not recommend.
