DZ Deathrays have announced their sixth album.
The Australian trio will release 'R.I.F.F' on June 2 via their own newly launched record label, DZ Worldwide. As a preview, they've dropped the third single, Tuff Luck, a rollicking garage rocker that follows the previously unveiled Paranoid and King B.
Head below to view the track's accompanying video, directed by Phoebe Faye. Frontman Shane Parsons said:
"I’ve always been the type of musician who loves to jam as many ideas into a song as possible but on this one, I wanted to challenge myself and focus on one bassline and work as many lyric ideas around that one idea as possible.
"It’s weird, you can have fun saying that we have royally fucked up. The drums in this song are some of the best on the album, [we] chopped [them] up alongside samples and treated them with different effects depending on where they came from."
The band added: "It feels amazing to finally be able to announce that our new album 'R.I.F.F' is going to be released. This album has been a different approach to recording for us, using multiple studios and bedrooms split across Brisbane and Sydney.
"We really took our time with this album, reworking songs along the way making it the longest recording process we have ever done, close to two years. What it’s ended up as is one of our most raucous and fun records yet revisiting some of the flavours of 'Blood Lovely' whilst adding a new style of production for us."
The band will embark on a run of dates supporting Regurgitator in Australia in May.
