Beard, Wives, Denim

Beard, Wives, Denim is the sound of a group of friends completely surrendering to the creative process in a remote Western Australian farmhouse. Unlike the meticulous, solitary layering of their contemporaries, this album breathes with the air of the Zampatti Farm where it was tracked. It is messy, extroverted, and vibrantly alive, capturing the spontaneous energy of a band that is more interested in the feeling of a jam than the perfection of a take. The production, handled by Kevin Parker, retains a warm, analog grit that makes the listener feel like they are sitting on the floor of that bedroom studio, surrounded by cables and empty beer cans.
