THE STRESS OF LEISUREThe Stress of Leisure force feed their special sauce of faux wave through a post-punk grater that shuffles somewhere between outright cynicism and wide-eyed optimism, embrace of the absurd, the thrown away detail, and endless curiosity. True weirdos and better for it. 2024 album - It Goes Away With The Heat is a return to the embrace of the tropics for The Stress of Leisure. The title is also reflective of the age of hyper-politics we’re all living through. It’s somewhat post-punk, somewhat faux-wave, and unsurprisingly dabbles on the edges of weirdo, as you’d expect from this quartet. Recorded at Phaedra Studios in Coburg, Melbourne by John Lee (Mod Con, Blake Scott, Laura Jean), the band opted for a rawer more live sound reminiscent of early Modern Lovers recordings: minimal takes, the right energy throughout. It's reflective of the rawness in the Brisbane music story, the endless humidity, the sweaty passion, the cross pollination of punk and other influences.
