AQUASLUM’ is the debut album from Melbourne band HOY.
After three years of writing, performing and touring, HOY’s founding members, Liam Linley, Felicity Cripps and Cecilia Dowling expanded the trio to a six-piece band for the album recording. HOY now includes members from Gotye, the Black Arm Band and The Basics.
Last year HOY joined The Basics on their east-coast tour, playing sold out shows in every major city, followed by their own headline tour for the Brigitte Bardot EP.
Recent singles, ‘Brigitte Bardot’ and ‘Get Some Sleep’ were featured on community radio stations across Australia, Dig FM, Triple J and Triple J Unearthed. Filmclips for these tracks were also aired on RAGE and recieved rave reviews across the blogosphere.
‘Aquaslum’ will be released MAY 2nd through MGM, followed by a national tour.
