POLISH CLUB + YOUNG FRANCO @ Fat Controller

POLISH CLUB

'Clarity' is the first taste of the Sydney drums-guitar duo's second album, currently under construction at The Grove Studios near Gosford. From glam-slamming guitar riffs to one of the most insane drum fills of all time, it's a soul-funk party starter with a dark undertow that won't, ever, leave you alone.

"It's still basically just me on drums and Novak on guitar and vocals," drummer John-Henry says, "but we've found ourselves writing music with more layers, more parts. We're spending a lot more time thinking about songs and about recording. It's definitely a different process to the last album."

Lyrically, Clarity is a plea from the churning vortex of modern existence that heralds a slightly more serious phase in the songwriters' headspace.

"It's a mental scene rather than a specific one," says fuel-injected singer/ guitarist Novak. "It's about the struggle of communication; not being able or eloquent or ballsy enough to say what you're thinking; being at the end of your tether with confusion, wanting to be clear with yourself and others."

Calling on UK vocalist Scrufizzer, About This Thing builds groove and flow, whilst ramming home one frothin' of a catchy chorus. Franco further demonstrates his ability to adapt his production across a range vocal styles, a notable feature from his highly-anticipated Album expected in late 2018.
