Junk Drawer

Junk Drawer are Brian Coney (bass/keys), Rory Dee (drums/guitar/vocals) and siblings Stevie (vocals/guitar) and Jake Lennox (vocals/guitar/drums). Their second album ‘Days Of Heaven’ adds new levels of depth and clarity to an already signature sound. Following their critically acclaimed debut album ‘Ready For The House’ and 2022 stepping-stone EP ‘The Dust Has Come To Stay’, ‘Days of Heaven’ is very much the product of four crate-digging music lovers with open ears and a genuine open-minded approach in their process. It is also the outworkings of rural Ulster strangeness, the provinces’ many lost futures, and the harmony & discordance of a sibling creative partnership. A potent cocktail. Recorded over seven days at The Meadow Studios in Wicklow with producer Chris Ryan (Robocobra Quartet, Just Mustard, NewDad), ‘Days Of Heaven’ underlines a new moment for the band - one of deep understanding of each other and a sublime confidence in their craft. This is a band who have reached maturity without losing any of that “early-stuff” magic. In ‘Days of Heaven’ the band’s progress is clear. The band’s well-worn influences are still to be found; the breeze of sixties West Coast LA, the pink frost of eighties New Zealand to the otherworlds of Zappa and Beefheart. But scratch the surface and the world just below is where the real magic lies. This is the real trick shot of Junk Drawer.
