Sydney’s Dead Letter Chorus & Melbourne’s Skipping Girl Vinegar, two of Australia’s finest proponents of indie, folk rock, alt acoustic pop have just announced that they will be hitting the road together across May for a co-headline East Coast tour. With both bands having recently released their respective debut album’s to national acclaim, the similarities and simultaneous differences between the two are striking. Skipping Girl Vinegar: released their debut album “Sift The Noise” in September last year. Testament to the band’s obsession with melody, pop-hook, and the search to stretch their song craft “Sift The Noise” is a dark, warm, organic record that reflects the environments and journey of the band. Two tracks from the album (‘One Chance’ and title track ‘Sift The Noise’) both received strong triple J rotation, the latter, still a current fixture on triple J play lists, was also, recently added to ABC local radio rotation (65+ stations nationwide). J mag gave the album 4.5 stars, Scene Mag heralded “an album that surely ranks as one of the finest Australian releases this year”. Inpress summed it up well: “The hype surrounding Skipping Girl Vinegar has bordered on the insane in recent months... the end result is an inescapably great album” Dead Letter Chorus released their debut album “The August Magnificent” in October last year. Entirely self-produced by members of the band and recorded in a studio they helped to build, design and decorate to convert from an unused basement to a creative and sonically pleasing environment, the album is an intensely personal insight into a band at work. Mixed by the legendary Tim Whitten (The Panics, Youth Group, theredsunband) in Sydney's Big Jesus Burger and Sony studio's and mastered by Don Bartley @ Benchmark Mastering, “The August Magnificent” was released to rave reviews.
Now both these bands take time out to hit the tour circuit. Don't miss your chance to catch 2 great acts! |
