Celebrating the release of their first new album in 14 years, seminal dream pop outfit Underground Lovers will debut their seventh full length album, ‘Weekend’ via a series of exclusive shows across the East Coast starting in their hometown of Melbourne on April 20th at The Corner Hotel
The album title, a nod to Jean Luc Godard’s agitprop 60’s masterpiece of the same name, takes its listeners on a musical journey of exquisite tension and propulsive rhythms to a place you never want to leave. A combination of distinctive guitar, dance loops, ethereal vocals and introspective lyrics produce the unusual pop / rock songs and atmospheric dance music that is the first album in some years from Underground Lovers.
Right now celebrated as both RRR and PBS Album Of The Week, this highly anticipated new record has been welcomed with wide critical acclaim…
