Desperate Journalist Announce New Album & UK Tour Dates

Making a swift return to the fray, gothic indie outfit Desperate Journalist have issued Cedars, the first track from their forthcoming third album In Search Of The Miraculous due for release early next year.

The first new material from the quartet since five track EP You Get Used To It issued in March, In Search Of The Miraculous is Desperate Journalist’s third album and the follow up to 2017s hugely praised Grow Up.



Due for release on February 22, 2019 through legendary indie label Fierce Panda, Cedars sets the scene for the new LP with an early R.E.M. meets The Cure-esque powered by Jo Bevan’s outstanding vocals, Rob Hardy jangling guitar lines, and the engine room rhythm section of drummer Caroline Helbert and bassist Simon Drowner.
