Album artwork
Press-info: Underscored by a formidable horn section and ragged, sardonic delivery,
the band bear passing resemblance to post-punk and no-wave acts like The Pop Group, Birthday Party and Lounge Lizards.
It’s the weaving of older, more traditional influences: choral, folk, country,
Latin, Weimar cabaret, cruise-ship-crooning, into the fabric of their music
that sets them apart.
The album is produced by Grammy award-winning producer and mixer
Craig Silvey (Arcade Fire, Florence and The Machine, Baxter Dury, REM, Kronos
Quartet, Sam Fender).”
Can’t wait to have it on my stereo.
