Paul Dempsey, frontman of Something For Kate and all-round beloved Aussie music veteran, is gearing up to release his sophomore solo LP, Strange Loop, on 13th May and he’s now announced a very, um, unstable album pack.

Head on over to Dempsey’s official website right now and you will find an option to pre-order Strange Loop along with a very limited edition Paul Dempsey bobblehead. Yep, chuck the CD in your car stereo and stick Dempsey on your dash.

“You read it correctly! A Paul Dempsey Bobble Head! I mean, why not right?? Tap that oversized noggin and watch that troubled head dance!” the website reads. “Strictly limited so don’t miss out. Approx 18cm high and a 6.5cm wide base.”

As for Dempsey’s new album, we’ve already heard a taste in the form of ‘Morningless’, which has been getting steady airplay over on triple j and, like the rest of the album, was co-produced by Dempsey and Tom Schick (Wilco, Ryan Adams).

“With every new song and each new record you just hope to chisel everything a little cleaner than last time, paint the scenery in more precise detail and give some extra dimensions to the stories and also to have as much fun as possible creating all the accompanying noise,” said Dempsey.

“I feel completely satisfied that I’ve done that with this record.” Check out the video for ‘Morningless’ below or head on over to Dempsey’s official website to pre-order the album and your limited edition bobblehead.
