THE FAUVES – new album -Tropical Strength – out NOV 1 on Valve via MGM
\nfirst single – un-Australians – detached OCT 4 https:\/\/ffm.to\/un-australians<\/a><\/p>\n

Have you ever failed the Pub Test? Have you ever had unpatriotic thoughts? Do you laugh every Invasion Day when people tip pink paint over the heads\u00a0of Captain Cook statues? Wait a sec, do you call it Invasion Day? That\u2019s un-Australian. Do you know and\/or like a vegan? Did you sleep through last\u00a0year\u2019s dawn service? Do you find yourself tempted to answer rhetorical questions? You are un-Australian. You are not alone; so many Australians are un-Australian. Un-Australian Australians. Paradoxes and oxymorons. Wait a sec, did you just use two words derived from Ancient Greek in one sentence?<\/p>\n

Out now, un-Australians, the first song off The Fauves 13th album Tropical Strength. Ask for it by name. Or by any other name. The result is bound to be\u00a0the same.<\/p>\n

THE FAUVES un-Australians VIDEO https:\/\/youtu.be\/_DxWexPNftA<\/a>
\nas directed by the ever exuberant Andrew Cox
\n“We have made a video tape recording for our new song, un-Australians. Don\u2019t worry too much about the technology \u2013 it\u2019s too complicated to explain\u00a0here. There are magnets and tape and electricity, and people who say, \u201cLet\u2019s take 5\u201d, although the mandated 5-minute rest period is rarely adhered to and\u00a0can often extend out as far as half an hour. This video was filmed in 1997 when we toured the Northern Territory by light plane. We played shows at\u00a0places like Nhulunbuy and Katherine, often* to small crowds and very poor receptions. We videoed the tour on handycam, put it on VCR and let it sit in a\u00a0cupboard for 27 years. That\u2019s why the resolution is so good. Contrary to popular opinion, VCR tapes age like fine wine and generally take at least 20\u00a0years of cellaring to look their best.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Like an explosive can of banned substances\u00a0THE FAUVES\u00a0return with an absolute cracker of an album –\u00a0TROPICAL STRENGTH.\u00a0Once the regulators are done with figuring out what secret ingredients went into the chemistry of this uncontrolled chimera it will no\u00a0doubt be pranked as one of the finest they have released. Recorded in the luxurious off shore havens of Bali, just like any aged\u00a0timebomb has set off a musical work of time honoured art. It reeks of mature confidence and innate song writing quality lyrically\u00a0coasting their twisted satirical bent of humour with a devout cleverness and fresh sense of the modern now. Take it from me\u2026 if you\u00a0can given the penchant for spilling my guts in an interrogation room over a concerted bout of coercion – this is the one alright! \u00a0Who do\u00a0I pay to get this out of here?<\/p>\n
