The rock quintet's most recent "Endless Rooms" album was self-produced while the band decamped to a mud-brick house in the bush 2 hours north of Melbourne. There, its 12 tracks took shape, informed to such an extent by the acoustics and ambience of the rambling lakeside house. The result is a collection of songs permeated by the spirit of the place; punctuated by field recordings of rain, fire, birds, and wind.
~~~~~~~~
Since the band's inception, Rolling Blackouts C.F. have carved out a unique place in the local musical landscape with their penchant for hooky guitars and undeniable melodies, married to lyrics that are intelligent and wide-eyed, with an unmistakably-Australian dry wit. The French Press EP landed on many 'Best Of 2017' lists, including The Guardian/The Observer 'Hidden Gems'. Meanwhile, lead single 'French Press' made countless end of year lists including coming in at #10 on Rolling Stone's Best Songs of 2017, while the band came in at #13 in Paste Magazine's Best New Artists.
