PREMIERE: The General Assembly Reflect On Nature & Death In Soaring New Cut 'Vanishing Point'

Melbourne five-piece The General Assembly have unveiled Vanishing Point, the title track from their forthcoming debut full-length due out in October.

Proudly premiering on theMusic.com.au today, the tune seamlessly merges elements of indie-rock, post-rock and electronica into a tightly woven, atmospheric adventure that traverses its multiple peaks and troughs with a stylish, effortless air.

The tune was produced by D.A. Calf (Mojo Juju, Kira Puru, The Seabellies) and is a sublime demonstration of the band's copious talents, centering on the powerful, malleable vocals of frontman Matt Wicking. Furthering their penchant for environmentally and socially conscious songwriting, Vanishing Point is billed as a song that "articulates the transition back to nature at death".

The album from which it's taken represents the culmination of several years' work for the band, who first emerged back in 2009 with their well-regarded EP Dark Mountain Music.

The General Assembly will launch Vanishing Point — which is officially released tomorrow, 25 August — with a special show at the Gasometer in Melbourne on Friday 15 September. They'll be joined by Howlite and Louise Terra in support.

Vanishing Point, the album, will be released on Friday 28 October. Head to the band's Facebook page to give them a Like and stay across what they're up to in the lead-up to, and wake of, the album's arrival.
