Press Club, the Naarm/Melbourne four piece announce the independent release of their fourth album, with distribution through Inertia (Aus) and Cargo (UK/EU).(UK/EU). To All The Ones That I Love will be released on 2 May, with double single ‘Tightrope / Vacate’ out today.
To All The Ones That I Love was recorded at the band’s own studio in Footscray with guitarist Greg Rietwyk on production and mixing, before the album was mastered by Kris Crummett (Closure in Moscow, Dune Rats, Currents). Encapsulating the maturity of the band, the album promises to offer the listener a ride through various genres and traverses themes of introspection, growth, change and learning from past mistakes.
Lead singer Natalie Foster reflects on the new single:
“‘Tightrope’ is about hitting that point where you’re done trying to fix things, becoming frustrated and numb taking on everybody else’s thoughts, worries and expectations. It’s that feeling of barely holding it together, like you’re walking a tightrope on the edge of a breakdown. Musically, it’s a bit of an ode to The Hives, written after meeting them at Hurricane festival in Germany.”
“It was one of those songs that came together pretty organically on its own, we didn’t have to bang our heads against our instruments for a week or anything” adds the band’s bassist Iain MacRae.
Meanwhile, ‘Vacate’ was written with the intention of a long repetitive form, one that builds on itself the entire time. Sonically inspired by the atmospheric guitar parts played by Robert Fripp on ‘Heroes’ by David Bowie, and the staccato deep lead guitar lines that appear across the New Order and Joy Division catalogues.
