Four years after “Neanderthal Jam”, Australia's kings of retro boogie-psych, Datura4, are returning with their sixth album, “High on the Low Brow”, on US label Alive Naturalsound.
Recorded in their hometown of Fremantle, Western Australia, Datura 4 are led by Aussie legend Dom Mariani (The Stems) and “High On The Low Brow” delivers a trademark blend of blues-rock, boogie, and psychedelia. It's due out on June 19.
Datura4’s records have built a devoted following, celebrated for their authentic throwback to a time when Australian rock was loud and loose.
They're all anchored by Mariani’s unmistakable guitar work and his knack for crafting tunes that really stick.
The new single "Getting Through," came from an early studio jam, Mariani reveals.
“The fuzz riff I had, combined with Warren’s drum groove and Bob’s electric piano and spacey Moog lines worked great together from the get-go.
“It was one of those intuitive moments that resulted in something special. There’s a cool heaviness about the track that underpins the vocal and theme about unrequited love and respect. The guitar solos are full throttle fuzz to melt your brain."
