Throughout, Grow Up is a bracing and vital antidote to genre norms, and shares a worldview that nourishes both heart and head. A huge undertaking, a staggering achievement. You need this.

It’s a lazy comparison given that everyone who writes about Desperate Journalist makes it ... they do sound like The Smiths, because they’ve grasped exactly what The Smiths were about – not a jangly indie band fronted by an Oscar Wilde wannabe, but a loud, powerful rock beast who also had no fucking choice.

A few more years playing together has refined Desperate Journalist’s songwriting significantly. There’s more emotional and musical depth to the songs on Grow Up, the slow-dance of ‘Purple’ being probably the biggest example of this.
Amazing album - 2017 has been a great year and this is right up there as the best of the year for me.
'Grow Up' tiene momentos notables en partes específicas del largaduración, sin embargo hacen falta más momentos para que la banda inglesa pueda diferenciarse del resto de conjuntos post-punk que instrumentalmente hacen siempre lo mismo. Elementos hay de sobra, sólo falta arriesgarse un poco más para la próxima vez.
