Just Fontaine. A widescreen sonic rush

Hailing from the new Barcelona some 75 miles north of London (that'd be Northampton then..), Just Fontaine are a slightly skewed five piece, writing and playing their brand of elegantly wasted songs of suspicion and despair.

"Just Fontaine deal in elegant melancholy, and their widescreen sonic rush, so much in evidence when last they played here supporting Ray, should only be magnified by the recent addition of a multi-instrumentalist to the line up. Fans of Leonard Cohen, Nick Cave, the Go-Betweens or Tindersticks will lap this up. A powerful, affecting combo”
Pat Fish, The Jazz Butcher

We don't really do happy!
