Kississippi are Zoë Allaire Reynolds and Colin James Kupson, a duo from Hoboken, New Jersey, who make a twinkly brand of bedroom pop punk with mathy undertones. Out on Soft Speak Records, their latest release We Have No Future, We’re All Doomed is as sad and troubled as the title, though probably not quite as nihilistic. The six songs chart the confusion of raw heartbreak and hardship, a collection of questions and statements as told from within a seemingly endless storm. But there is also something in the lyrics and tone that suggests the clouds will pass. As Jason Molina once said: “No matter how dark the storm gets overhead / They say someone’s watching from the calm at the edge”.
