Just back from his US tour and Gonerfest appearance in Memphis, Michael Beach embarks on a full Australian tour, and will play Sydney as a solo show.

Following the highly acclaimed album “Dream Violence” (2021) and the recent LP re-issue of his modern underground classic ‘Gravity/ Repulsion’, Michael Beach has announced a new self-titled 12”/ EP, to be released Sep 30 via Goner & Poison City Records.

Recorded during the winter of 2021, the new record is made up of both 8-track tape and full studio recordings, interspersed with experimental, moody interludes, and features Beach's Australian bandmates Bonnie Mercer (guitar), Peter Warden (drums) and Carla Oliver (bass) throughout. The EP’s stunning closer “Only A Memory” is a collaboration with Lloyd Swanton of renowned Australian minimalist trio The Necks, recorded in NSW's Blue Mountains.

“Out in a Burning Alley,” the EP’s lead single, combines Beach’s soulful abstracted lyrics over two minutes and fifty eight seconds of blazing garage-rock, where the sounds of the Melbourne and Oakland/Bay Area underground collide. The track is accompanied by a video from Melbourne director Alex Millen who has recently worked with Melbourne’s EXEX and Modal Melodies.
