Indie
Life on the road isn't particularly easy for most artists. Nor is it necessarily a collection of scenes from the drug, booze and sex fuelled Motley Crue Netflix biopic, 'The Dirt'. For many people, it's a long, hard slog involving weeks and months away from home, friends and family, which - shows aside - are defined by boredom in transit and meals that take the shape of whatever is close to hand. With this truth in mind it seems understandable that Melbourne guitar poppers Rolling Blackouts should have returned from well over a year on tour with a more thoughtful, reflective and complex album than their debut, 'Hope Downs', or the two preceding EPs. Don't worry, though, for all the questioning of identity, musings on the meaning of home and tales of our turbulent world, there's still plenty of jangly grooves and sub-kissed licks to bore into your mind, making this very much a dual story - the summertime indie you've been waiting for, packaged with plenty to make you think, consider and contemplate on a lyrical front.
