Melbourne's Lurch & Chief Sign With Illusive

Staff Writer

The six-piece are gearing up to drop a new EP

Melbourne indie-rock outfit Lurch & Chief have signed a deal with local record label Illusive.

The deal will see the six-piece unveil their new EP, Breathe, through Illusive, which is one of several companies under the Mushroom Group banner.

Breathe will officially be out on Friday, 27 Mar and today the guys have given us the first taste of what the new collection will sound like via single Fading Out. The up-beat, garage-pop anthem is available through iTunes now.

You can catch the band on the road at the moment with fellow Melbourne rockers Kingswood — details are in theGuide and The Music App.

Lurch & Chief are managed by Illusive's Jon St Clair and their local bookings are handled by the 123 Agency.
