Love it or hate it, Mark Greaney's helium-fuelled voice is back for another three minutes of quiet/loud falsetto wailing.
They may have a new bass player in the aptly named Sarah Fox, but little else about JJ72's angst tinged indie has changed in the time they've been away. It's a reassuringly familiar formula, with cooed verse descending into a heavy chorus that threatens to make those hairs on the back of your neck stand on end.
It's a fairly inoffensive few minutes of indie-angst pop, but a good comeback single should hit you smack between the eyes. This, on the other hand, sneaks up behind you and taps you on the shoulder.
Still worth a listen, though, if just for Greaney's pronunciation of "I'm" in the verse...

Re: JJ72 - Coming Home
Puressence were GREAT !
JJ72 are generic indie with some good tunes.
Re: JJ72 - Coming Home
Spot on review.
Not their best tune and not their worse, but certainly not good enough to announce the new album.
Still, one of the B-sides is far better.

I really like the single, perhaps not the strongest but I wud have gave it about an 8. I think Mark Greaney has a brilliant voice.
