“Fishnets” is the newest single off of California trio The Moonjacks‘ upcoming album; a follow up to 2022’s Bad Guy Stuff. The intro, accompanied by a ukulele, paints a pretty picture of a girl “smoking blunts and drinking PBR” that could easily veer off into tawdry territory, but avoids that pitfall and goes the wholesome route. “Fishnets” continues with addition of the rest of the band, driven by warm pop guitar and a fun piano track that sneaks in between the bass and drums – check out our previous feature of “Wack” if you need more solid proof.
The Moonjacks are at their best when they’re having fun, and while it’s unclear if the story behind this song is based on true events, it’s absolutely crystal clear they’re enjoying themselves here. If you haven’t listened before, this is a great jumping off point.
