Fronted by siblings David and Katie Pope, gloomy Glaswegians The Just Joans have been a cult presence on the indiepop scene for over a decade since their festival debut at Indietracks in 2008. Noted for their mischievous lyrics, tender melodies and overwhelming Scottishness, the band were best described as ‘the missing link between The Magnetic Fields and The Proclaimers.’

Having completed the long journey from shambling two-piece to accomplished sextet, these misanthropic musicians with Britpop soft spots have excelled since joining Fika Recordings in 2017. Their latest offering on the label, The Private Memoirs and Confessions of The Just Joans - a smorgasbord of misery, longing and everyday angst – was dubbed ‘the best new album of 2020’ on its release (ten days into the year).
