Collarbones third album Return is out now worldwide through Two Bright Lakes / Remote Control Records.

Collarbones' Travis Cook and Marcus Whale met in 2007. With Cook in Adelaide and Whale in Sydney, the duo have not let distance stop them and have since co-written and produced three full-length albums together, beginning with their brilliant debut album Iconography and second album Die Young in 2012. Since then, Collarbones have performed collaboratively with Synergy Percussion at Vivid Sydney and released the mixtape Atlantis 2014 featuring single 'Burnout'. The duo have pushed boundaries with their dense, compelling live show - supporting Jessie Ware, Deerhunter, How To Dress Well and a string of local collaborators and friends including Rainbow Chan, Guerre, Oscar Key Sung & Martin King.

Return is an album of 9 songs that documents the erratic mood swings which come after a break up and the narcissism that follows. It deals with the fantasies surrounding love, and hones in on harsh realities. Collarbones have often played with the idea of genre and this album sees the collaborative band delving in many directions, in order to find their own path. The sincere and compelling sound of Return bridges the Teen Idol meditations found on earlier albums and solidifies Collarbones as a true gift to listeners.

In February, Collarbones will be taking their immense live show around Australia, performing your favorite new tracks off Return amongst a bunch of Collarbones classics. Full dates for the tour below:

Friday 6th February - Newtown Social Club, Sydney

Saturday 7th February - Pirie Social Club, Adelaide

Friday 13th February - Mondo, Perth

"Collarbones are a force all of their own. On Return they can be heard switching it up from down-tempo pop tunes to straight-up acid house jams in the space of a heartbeat. Their take on club music, dance music, electronic music, whatever you wish to call it, is removed from trend and focused entirely on making ears tingle and feet move."

- The Music

"An act like Collarbones - on paper alone - is indicative of what is able to be achieved in a musical sense in the 21st century. Return marks perhaps the most complete realisation of the duo's capabilities on record thus far."

- FasterLouder

"Return pushes on from 2012's Die Young, taking its songs to extremes: whether that be Turning's diva-house dancefloor mania or Flush's creeping ambience."
