It’s been a long time between drinks for fans of Perth-born rock legends The Blackeyed Susans, but with the arrival of their long-awaited new LP in March comes a string of headline dates around the country.
Led by honey-voiced singer Rob Snarski, the first new album in 10 years sees chief songwriter and guitarist Phil Kakulas continue to pen instant classics, with guitarist/producer Dan Luscombe help craft the “dreamlike torch songs, bruised ballads and atmospheric rockers”.
The new songs also prove they’re not ready to sit back and ride a wave of nostalgia, which could have been quite easily done with the release of retrospective box set Reveal Yourself in 2009.
The seminal act dished up hits A Curse On You, Smokin’ Johnny Cash and Blue Skies, Blue Sea throughout the ‘90s after coming together from The Triffids, Chad’s Tree and Martha’s Vineyard.
The Blackeyed Susans’ seventh LP drops March 3 via Teardrop Records before they hit the road early April.
