Dune Rats have been real busy lately. After partying down Mexico way with good pal Drapht, the boys hit the ground running as soon as they touched back down in Australia, immediately getting to work on new music.

They’ve been busying themselves with writing sessions with touring buddies DZ Deathrays, with whom they’ll soon be taking on North America and Europe, and have even been working on some new music of their own.

“LAST DAY POLISHIN CHUNES AT MACS. CHEERS TO ALL THE FELLAS HELPIN US OUT!!! CANT WAIT TO DROP NEW SHIT ON Y’ALL,” the band wrote on Instagram last month. But apparently there’s still some new tunes left to record.

“Clocking back in to the studio with Zac [Carper, FIDLAR] in Melbourne! Racking up some overtime for some high quality shit out soon,” the band wrote on Instagram. They’ve since gone on to share several updates.

The Dunies last single, ‘Bullshit’, was the culmination of their newly minted working relationship with Carper, whom the trio met when they supported FIDLAR across North America for two months last year.

Carper took the boys from recording sessions staged inside an RV en route to Joshua Tree, California to a Melbourne studio where the latest stash of new Dunies gear was cooked up.

According to triple j’s 2016 Aussie Release Schedule, a new EP is scheduled for release some time this year via Warner and the band’s own Ratbag Records.
