Peter Jennings Disciples return with their sophomore EP, Bad News. Further refining their “alternadustrial” sound, Bad News explores dreams and nightmares, forgiveness and damnation, through dark ambient, electronic, and industrial rock themes: wailing bagpipes and fragile synths on “Not Enough Bridge” contrast with pounding beats and heavy guitars on “Wild Girl (Slug Mix).”
The original version of “Wild Girl” was included in Side-Line Magazine‘s Face The Beat: Session 7 compilation; an alternate mix appears on the EP.
The Bad News EP releases on 9 October 2022 on streaming platforms and digital download. A limited-edition audio cassette will also be released to celebrate Cassette Week 2022.
