Following an outstanding response to the release of their latest single, ‘WE ARE THE SAME’, powerhouse Melbourne sextet Lurch & Chief have announced the release of their new EP, Wiped Out and coinciding tour.
Having played their very first show just over a year ago in May 2012, Lurch & Chief formed as a collaborative group of close friends but have since morphed into a prolific dynamo, generating a high creative output with their debut EP, an experimental live sessions release and a further two stand-alone singles in this time.
It could be just to say some people may need a little time to catch-up with the fast-moving collective, but those who have cottoned-on early are certainly happy to be part of the elite club of followers.
Wiped Out takes its place as Lurch & Chief’s most assured work to date, blending a potent concoction of 60s garage, 90s drone, psychedelic jams while recurrently spiked with killer-hooks and effortlessly tied together by the duelling lead boy/girl vocals of Hayden Somerville and Lili Hall.
With tracks here like the lyrically-creepy ‘Mother/Father’, the infectious favourite-to-be title track, the seductive ‘It’s Easy’ and current radio single ‘We Are The Same’ now under their belt, Lurch & Chief will be taking their wares to the road from mid-August through until early October.
This is their most extensive and ambitious tour to date – sharing with the rest of the nation what Melbourne already know – Lurch & Chief are simply a must-see live band.
