The music of Johnny Hunter is both haunting and irresistible in equal measure but his latest single ‘HOT MESS’ is especially tempting. Originally from Australia, Johnny has recently arrived in the UK setting up a new base and attempting to take the country by storm. This single may be a huge moment on that journey as it has an inescapable, twisted attraction that just hooks you in from start to finish!
The opening warped electro textures instantly create a slightly gothic drama that lands somewhere between New Order and Nine Inch Nails, ringing of Mancunian up comers Sugarstone.
The vocals hit with a performative quality, spouting out each word with power and swagger, feelings that are matched by the fuzzy Rock guitar tones. The entire atmosphere is absorbing, full of cinematic allure and gritty tension as well as some hooky melodies that can be sung back with force.
This track sees Johnny Hunter enter a darker, Dance Rock realm that has a sinister magnetism. We dare you to listen and not become absorbed in the twisted sounds.
