Middle Kids - Lost Friends - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

New Songs For Old Problems comes hot on the heels of what was a massive 2018 for Middle Kids, including the May of their critically acclaimed album Lost Friends - an impressive debut which saw the band tour worldwide, earned them a slew of US late night TV appearances, and back home in Australia snagged an ARIA nomination, and the Triple J Album of the Year prize. The EP, recorded at Middle Kids' own studio in Sydney and produced by guitarist Tim Fitz, is about the colorful clash of pressures you experience when you are growing up, coming of age. An acknowledgement that life can be hard, but solace that we're all in this together. InchYou look around and realize everyone is fighting the same internal battle, everyone is just acting out their story and praying it won't end up a tragedy,Inch adds Fitz. Lead single InchReal Thing,Inch a soaring rock song mixed by the legendary Mike InchSpikeInch Stent (Madonna, Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, Coldplay, Muse) ruminates on the lifelong quest for meaning.

Today We're The Greatest is the Sydney-based rock trio's follow up to their award winning debut album Lost Friends (2018), a record which earned support slots with The War on Drugs, Local Natives and Cold War Kids. Moving away from lyrics of a more conceptual nature, Today We're The Greatest is the uninhibited product of fearless collaboration. Showing a new vulnerability, lead singer and songwriter Hannah Joy pulled directly from her own experiences and broke down barriers she had previously set for herself. About the new record, she said InchI want to make music that loves it's listener. Music that makes people feel seen, seen in the tiny little places that hide away in their hearts. I want people to hear our music and feel a sense of love. And when I say love, it can be challenging, intense and tough. But it's in the guts. Inch The band (comprised of Joy, multi-instrumentalist Tim Fitz and drummer Harry Day) recorded the album in Los Angeles with producer Lars Stalfors (St. Vincent, Soccer Mummy, Purity Ring).
