The Church - Untitled #23

“The Church have created a work of art: meshing guitars & rhythms in a sonic journey that will shock those who are expecting another typical “Church” album. This album will solidify them, along side Sigur Ros, as one of the most creative bands of the last 30 years. Australia’s legendary band, The Church returns with what is arguably the most creative and inspiring record of their almost 30 year career. Second Motion Records in conjunction with the band’s very own Unorthodox Records will release the new album “Untitled #23” in Europe in July. The album will feature 10 tracks of thoughtful simplistic epics, unusual in its ability to be simultaneously dark and accessible. An irresistibly melodic album, dense, psychedelic, yet emotive and personal. Set in a lush soundscape carved out of another world, the band has succeeded in creating a listenable work of art, meshing guitars and rhythms into a sonic journey of intrigue and understanding. The beautiful double limited edition LP will also feature 3 extra bonus tracks in 180 gram vinyl. The band will hit the road in June/July with support by Adam Franklin (of Swervedriver) and Grant Lee Phillips.  Press to run in all key magazines  : Mojo, Q, Uncut, Record Collector, Rocksound, Classic Rock, Broadsheets.

It's a haunting, dark, thrilling, ecstatic, melodic psychedelic journey in ten unforgettable pieces.
