Dappled Cities Have Begun Work On Their New Album
The Sydney-bred indie vets are keeping fans in the loop on social media
Sydney-born indie-rock outfit Dappled Cities have quietly begun work on the follow-up album to 2012's fourth full-length effort Lake Air and 2014's rarities compilation Many Roads, keeping the faithful updated on the process through a series of in-studio photos and videos posted to Facebook over the past week or so.
As the band prepares to make a live appearance this Australia Day at the Vic On The Park Hotel, in Marrickville, they're making sure those of us eagerly awaiting LP #6 are kept in the loop.

As the band so succinctly put it in their new year's post: "Someone's gotta fill the hole Bluejuice is leaving."
