One of our favourite records of the year is The Jezabels’ enormous, ARIA #2 debut record, Prisoner. “Trycolour” is the second single from the album (following “Endless Summer”) and the impressive music video has just been released. Check it out here!
On the track, Samuel Lockwood had this to say: “‘Trycolour is our 90’s song. At least it starts that way, and then morphs into a dystopian-pop-nightmare. But that’s fitting I think, because we are in many respects a band with strong contrasts. We wrote this song quite quickly, it was actually the first song to be completed on the album. I think that’s because it does have a natural type of movement to it. Nik’s drums are the guiding force for the rest of us to perform upon.”
MORE ABOUT THE NEW ALBUM AND THE BAND:
Recorded in The Attic Studio in Sydney by long time collaborator & producer Lachlan Mitchell, and mixed by Peter Katis (Jonsi, The National, Interpol) at Tarquin Studio, Connecticut and Mastered by Ted Jensen at Sterling Sound, New York.
To say it’s been a huge couple of months for the Sydney based quartet would be a massive understatement. They have released their debut album to critical praise and a #2 ARIA Chart position; won two AIR Awards (including Best Independent Artist); reached gold sales status and received three ARIA nominations for their previous EP ‘Dark Storm’ and sold out their national headline tour to gushing praise.
On top of all of that, they have peppered activity here with tour dates and release obligations in the USA, UK and Canada, and are elated to announce they have inked deals with US powerhouse label Mom + Pop, home to Neon Indian, Metric, Andrew Bird, Joshua Radin, Sleigh Bells, Ingrid Michaelson and Dine Alone in Canada joining the likes of City and Colour, Neon Indian, The Civil Wars, Alexisonfire, Tokyo Police Club, The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart.
As soon as they close their show at the Astor Theatre in Perth on Nov 5th they will re pack their bags with warmer clothes and jump a flight to the USA for shows, then onto Canada and the UK before landing on home soil in time for Homebake, Christmas, The Falls Music & Arts Festivals, Southbound and Big Day Out.
