NEW WAR - Trouble In The Air LP (colour vinyl)
$37.95
Limited edition clear / orange / black splatter vinyl.
Highly recommended.
Commissioned by the City of Melbourne, Trouble in the Air is a new song cycle composed for voice, bass guitar, electronics and the Melbourne Town Hall Grand Organ. The band describes the work as a "cold dream of uncertainty & rupture".
'Has there been a truer album title for the times we live in? Trouble in the Air is their third album in a little over a decade but true to form, this Melbourne four-piece has again steered clear of any sense of convention and done their own thing, spectacularly.
The centrepiece here is Melbourne Town Hall's glorious four-storey high Grand Organ with Jesse Shepherd at the keys. These seven tracks ooze with a weighty, existential mood that's complimented by equally trippy rhythms and singer Chris Pugmire's post-punk howl'
★★★★ Album of the week - The Age
