Overview
- The new record, In Light Of Recent Events, was issued without prior notice as a self-release and is available now.
- The album ends another period of low public activity for the Melbourne group and is their first full LP since 2019's All In Good Time.
- Band members spent last year rehearsing and playing secret shows under alternate names before releasing a three-song EP called Shapes And Forms in July 2025 and headlining a large free concert at Melbourne’s Fed Square in September.
- Early critical reaction praises the record's rock 'n' roll drive, idiosyncratic psychedelic touches, and tight riffs, with at least one reviewer calling it worth listeners' time even if they are new to the band.
- The surprise, DIY release continues the group's pattern of long gaps between records and low-key regrouping, and it could presage more live dates or independent releases as they reengage with fans.
