Perth four-piece Grim Fandango have announced they'll release sophomore album 'Flicker Noise' on September 16 through Poison City Records.
The album, which follows 2010 debut 'Birthmark Blues' and last year's 'In the Rough' EP, was recorded and mixed at Adelaide's Capital Sound Studio by James Balderston (Coerce, SXWZD) before being mastered by Carl Saff (Dinosaur Jr., Guided By Voices).
"To me, Grim Fandango are the antithesis of the punk/ DIY spirit in this country," says Andy Hayden, founder of Poison City Records. "They exist in a part of Australia that makes touring expensive and hard, yet they’ve worked at building a community of like minded friends and musicians in Western Australia that allows bands from the East Coast and overseas to feel welcome playing in their home city. ‘Flicker Noise’ is a huge achievement for Grim in both song writing quality and production; a perfect collision of Merge Records esque 90′s indie-rock and angsty, off kilter pop-punk. If RVIVR, Archers Of Loaf, Dikembe or Superchunk ruffles your feathers – take note!”
Grim Fandango will play the sold-out Saturday night event of the upcoming Poison City Weekender festival in Melbourne, as well as a 'Pre-Kender' show the Thursday prior - you can buy tickets here. The band will also support US act Joyce Manor on their Adelaide and Perth dates.
