Aussie post punk/synth wave band screensaver have announced the released on their debut studio album 'Expressions of Interest'.
Engineered by Julian Cue alongside band member Chris Stephenson and recorded over multiple studio sessions between 2020-2021, the 10-track album will be available on October 8th through Upset The Rhythm and Heavy Machinery. Pre-order your copy here.
Sonically, the record is rich and detailed, and pays homage to its era of inspiration (late 70s-mid 80s post-punk and new wave) with gripping vocals, dissonant guitar, melodic basslines, washes of synths and motorik drumming.
On new single 'No Movement' the band say: "No Movement was written in the jam room and built around the simple organ riff, despite its title the song is full of dynamic and interplay between the instruments. It's a favourite of ours to play live. The lyrics explores themes of anxiety and rumination, shaping a loose narrative around a character paralysed by fear and intrusive thoughts unable to move forward in life."
From electronic-driven krautrock, to post-punk full of tribal toms and dirge-y synths, to death-disco with touches of EDM, 'Expressions of Interest' is an album that is both fierce in attack and destined for the dance floor.
