Listen to Gen And The Degenerates’ new single, Favourite Jumper

Gen And The Degenerates have just unveiled a new single, Favourite Jumper.

Arriving before their imminent UK support slot with Hyphen, the trio – vocalist Genevieve Glynn-Reeves, guitarist Sean Healand-Sloan and drummer Evan Reeves – are taking their own brilliantly unique approach to tackling current issues (as always).

“Whenever the right wing is on the rise there is this puritanical pressure placed on women to be virtuous,” explains Genevieve. “Women are villainised for being overtly sexual and treated as if they don’t have agency or control over their own bodies.

“We see this reflected in rhetoric around bisexual women settling down with men and almost relinquishing their queerness to try and feel safer. I think this is the perfect time to rebel against that and be as slutty and queer as possible. And so this is really just a fun party song of sorts, from the point of view of a bisexual person – guess what, it’s me – discussing previous experiences in a fun way, but also attempting to reconcile an honest and healthy relationship with a partner, with the totality of that sexuality and sexual history.”
