Quite a different sound from King Stingray while still feeling familiar. My first impression is a good one. More of a reason to make this Vegas>Phoenix>Albuquerque run happen.
New South America show added for 2024:
This new interview has a hint at the next recording project:
Basically just that it will be guitar based again, and implied that it will be more composed with less jamming. Nothing we didnât already know really.

Another session, seems like vocal overdubs. What about the pointing emoji? Signifying that theyâre singing âI love youâ?

According to someone on Gizzcord that met Joey at a recent Mildlife show.
Proggy Country/blues like has been hinted at could be divisive.
Two sleeps away!
Weather forecast of 39ÂșC and literal fireworks before they play, itâs gonna be a unique experienceâŠ

Are you going to be there?
Yep! Road tripping with a few mates on Saturday, camping, then driving back Sunday. Might be the only time we can see them all year without leaving the countryâŠ
Oh, youâre in New South Wales! Surely youâll be there?!

I may be in NSW, but Iâm about four times further away from Deniliquin than you are haha. Just not feasible for me this time, if they are playing in Melbourne later this year as has been hinted at I should be able to fly down so Iâm holding out for that.

2 weeks back I met Joey at the album launch of Mildlife in Melbourne. got a chance to speak with him. here are a few things he said:
-they are working on 2 albums (as of 2 weeks back, mind)
-1st album is going to be ambrose focussed and more -rootsy-
-2nd album is âwe all just have ADHD and it is what we want to record at the moment. kinda heavy stuffâ
-album art of that 1st album is his favourite artwork so far, implying the art is done already
-intrasport is getting a debut this year -there is going to be a synth section at the shows in the same way there are microtonal sections. I havent asked him if this means that the microtonal section is going to be more rare
-there are going to be 2 melbourne surprise shows in october-november
-they had planned a mini australian tour in April but cancelled âbecause we wanted to relax before the big tourâ (edited)
if youâve read anything similar in the past 2 weeks, it came from me

Surprise shows 
Just missed out on Fred Again for $10 last weekend due to the show being unannounced, will be very hard to get to Melbourne if they donât give much notice.
Youâre gonna get there.

Weird for it to be on the acoustic kit though isnât it?
Alright so a couple more teases coming through:
Ambroseâs story could very well be totally unrelated, but both happen to be references to animals and places. Land+Horse, and presumably the other is the phrase âwhen pigs flyâ, which would also match the flying theme of the video shoot?
Also tentatively, there were the âanimals in Australiaâ lyrics used on stage last year. So animal themed prog-country album on the way?

Iâd be so psyched for that âanimals in Australiaâ stuff from March '23 to become an actual song.
