Description
It’s a unique band that finds itself cherished as bona fide legends of new wave and neo-psychedelia while remaining a virtual enigma to the world that knows its name. But maybe that's no more remarkable than the mystery that continues to unfold within its own ranks. At this stage of the journey,* brand new album FURTHER/DEEPER seems both unimaginable and the only option on their endless quest from chaos to resolution. It's an album of breathtaking new vistas and intense emotions,* of sinister black caskets and gorgeous caverns of light,* a work born of immense struggle and effortless expression. *"The magic started on day one,*" says singer and bass player Steve Kilbey. *"Someone strummed a chord or struck a drum or plucked a note and we were off. We wrote and recorded like demons and it was inspiring to feel every member using all his resources in the service of this record."On the subject of creation let’s not forget that Mike Joyce,* Andy Rourke and Johnny Marr were inspired to form The Smiths after seeing The Church play at Leadmill Sheffield in 1982! Twenty-six songs for FURTHER/DEEPER born over eight days of exploration in Sydney in late 2013. Guitarist Peter Koppes,* recalibrating his personal canvas in the absence of his long-time foil Marty Willson-Piper,* drew palpable inspiration from the quartet's remixed chemistry."This new incarnation of the band with Ian Haug has brought a joyous energy to the music we've written together,*" he says. *"The rhythm swings more than usual yet the moods still range from melancholy pop to our modern version of heavy psychedelic rock,* as in Laurel Canyon,* to the epic gothic-progressive dance track,* Globe Spinning
