Melbourne is once again proving to be Australia’s creative hub with Husky achieving musical excellence on their third album ‘Punchbuzz’.
Husky recorded the new album in a haunted mansion. “It is an old mansion that serves as a home, way station, salon, oasis for artists, eccentrics, night owls and sojourners passing through or needing to hang up their skates for a while,” according to the band.
“Melbourne was new to me as it always is when I return from being away. But it was also full of ghosts – remnants of my past life, people who were no longer around, places that were at once familiar and foreign, memories that drifted through my dreams and waking thoughts, becoming fused and inseparable. I slept little but dreamt a lot. My dreams were of the past, they took me back over and over again when what I wanted was to start again, to find something brand new. Ghost was part of a process of coming to terms with this half asleep, half awake, somewhere between the haunted past and the sunlit possibility of tomorrow.”
The first taste of the new album is ‘Ghost’.
Both the new single ‘Ghost’ and the album Punchbuzz will be released via Embassy of Music (Bjork, Robyn, Asgeir) in the UK and Europe and through fellow indie Nevado Music in the US, while Liberation Music will release the record in Australia and all remaining territories.
