Kisschasy Announce First New Album In 16 Years, 'The Terrors Of Comfort'

After 16 years between drinks, mighty Melbourne outfit Kisschasy have delivered the news your ears have waited years for, announcing their fourth studio album, The Terrors Of Comfort.

News of the group’s upcoming album comes after a handful of new singles released throughout 2025, with the likes of Lie To Me and Parasite being the band’s first taste of new music since their third album, 2009’s Seizures.

The album’s reveal also comes accompanied by the release of another taster, with Uncomfortably Numb underlining the record’s thematic thread – exploring the notion of comfort and how it can negatively impact one’s motivations.

“Uncomfortably Numb is the song that best embodies the theme of the new album; the idea that comfort can be a bad thing,” explains vocalist and guitarist Darren Cordeux. “It’s a song about restlessness, about stagnation, about wanting to snap out of that daydream that’s devoid of fear, passion, desire or drive. It’s about wanting to feel something."

“When producing the song we wanted the music to mirror the lyrics; the verses are reminiscent of a lullaby with their waltz-like feel while the choruses detonate into a desperate cry for help, snapping the listener out of that false sense of calm,” he adds.

Set for release on Friday, February 13th, Kisschasy’s The Terrors Of Comfort sees the group in fine form. Produced and engineered by Cordeux in Los Angeles (with Richard Stolz on additional engineering duties), it’s an album that already appears to be stacking up as an integral addition to the Kisschasy canon – and one that more that satiates those who have waited 16 long years for a new record.

“The title came from an old ‘70s Museum of Modern Art exhibition called The Pleasures And Terrors of Domestic Comfort,” Cordeux remembers. “I’d rediscovered the catalogue on my bookshelf and thought to myself ‘that’s the common thread to all these songs.’

“Lie To Me, Parasite, Uncomfortably Numb, are all about where you end up when you seek comfort above all else.”

Kisschasy will be celebrating the release of their new album in February of next year with a series of shows across the country, joining Yellowcard as support on Good Charlotte's upcoming Australian tour. Tickets to those shows are available now.
