Officially Usher’s favourite Brisbane indie rock outfit, Ball Park Music have announced their triumphant return with a brand new album, Every Night The Same Dream, and a massive national tour to celebrate.
The album, recorded analog-style to four-track tape at Sound Recordings in Castlemaine, Victoria with award winning producer Matt Redlich (Holy Holy, Emma Louise, Ainslie Wills), is set for release Friday, 19th August.
To celebrate the release of their follow-up to 2014’s chart-topping Puddinghead, the band will embark on an extensive national tour, hitting up capital cities across the country, including their first ever show in Alice Springs.
“It feels like a lifetime has passed since our last big Australian tour,” said frontman Sam Cromack. “We were lucky enough to devote a year to writing, relaxing, European touring, festivals spots and an unforgettable (well, actually, I can’t remember much of it) week in Austin, TX for SXSW.”
“Then we bunkered down to chip away at our new record, Every Night The Same Dream, which you’ll all get to hear soon enough. We’re stoked. Our hearts are going to burst. The response to ‘Pariah’ and ‘Nihilist Party Anthem’ has been mind-blowing.”
“We’re chomping at the bit to get back on the road and play a bunch of new material as well as all the old faves. Well, most of the old faves. A new record is great because it means you can take some of the old songs that you’re bored with to the back paddock and shoot them.”
“Nah, just joking. Maybe. You never know. See you soon.” Check below for all the dates and ticketing details.
