Kooky Melbourne art-poppers Aleks And The Ramps celebrate their third album FACTS with an extensive national tour.
The quintet bewitched the indie scene with their second album, 2007’s Midnight Believer, a delightful jumble of psychedelic pop, and now they’re back with their third, titled FACTS.
In honour of this long-awaited release, they’re going to bring their lilting melodies, oddball instrumentation and deadpan vocals to venues all over in a thorough tour, starting at the Applecore Festival and including Canberra, Toowoomba, Hobart and Byron.
FACTS will be release on Valentine’s Day, February 14, through Gaga Digital, and vinyl presales available now through aleksandtheramps.bandcamp.com (with a free digital version included).
Check out the trippy video to their first single ‘Middle Aged Unicorn On The Beach With Sunset’ below the dates.
