In dire need of some mind altering psychedelic-fused pop? Look no further than Melbourne six-piece The Dead Heir.

The sextet have ignited the scene for some time now, releasing their killer desert rock debut EP in 2013. This year has seen the band hit the studio with none other than Joey Walker (King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard) to produce what is proving to be a release with a hullova lot more guts.

Lead single ‘Cooked’ is the first taste we get from the forthcoming EP, and boy has been prepared to perfection. The track witnesses the outfit explore with a sheen of stoned confidence a heated blend of sixties-styled garage-pop, loaded with chunky rhythms, psych-tinged organs and catchy-as-fuck echoed lyrics that melt into a consuming swirl of distorted sonics that’ll make you feel like you’ve just ingested a fistful of mushies.

The band are celebrating the launch of their cracking new tune Saturday 19th July at Alia Arthouse with freak-out friends The Laughing Leaves, Breve and Gang Darts.
