AMP winners and fine garage rock purveyors Eddy Current Suppression Ring have knocked out album number three.
Our buddy Darren Levin dished in The Age’s A2 supplement over the weekend that, following the $1600 that Melbourne favourite rock savants spent on
Primary Colours, they have apparently “belted out” album number three for a meagre green hundred at a rehearsal studio.
If a cheapie album like
Primary Colours can win the $30,000 Australian Music Prize, imagine what this will do… win the $1.5 million Nobel Peace Prize?
Hard to say, but their next album might be a more electronic affair, judging by the new tune they played from their spectacular primetime performance at Meredith. Maybe we can see what our faithful editor Marcus has to write about that.
On another note of plaudits being bestowed on ECSR, the band have released their self-titled debut and
Primary Colours as a twin-pack in the UK. What do the Limeys think? They think it’s perfect.
Well, that’s what The Guardian wrote last week, giving it five stars out of five. According to Tom Hughes, the band “pack their every riff, every oddball hook and quotable line with personality and smarts” and each album “is a real, live repeat-listen joy in itself; as a twofer, it's nigh-on.”
We already knew this, but you can read the entire tongue-bath
here.
The budget new album is due out in March 2010 through Shock.
