Radio Free Alice have released their new EP, Polyester.
The Melbourne post-punk band’s second EP was recorded with Nao Anzai at Soundpark Studios and refined during their tour.
Polyester captures the raw, live energy that fans have come to expect from Radio Free Alice. The recording process included sessions in various unconventional locations across Europe, with mixing by Ewan Pearson (Warpaint, M83, Joy Division) and mastering by Mikey Young.
The EP contains singles like “Johnny,” which follows a “little runaway” who’s making moves in the face of loneliness, and new single “Spain,” which is the most energetic cut on the record.
“‘Spain’’s about a wealthy, gluttonous pig of a man and his attempt to manipulate a younger, more attractive woman into dating him through money. I suppose it’s about how money is a social currency as well as a material one, and how dark and twisted that is,” explains vocalist Noah Learmonth.
Listen to “Spain,” and watch the accompanying music video, below.
Radio Free Alice only formed in 2020 but have quickly risen to become one of the most talked-about guitar bands in Australian music.
