PARADISE CLUB UNVEIL NEW SINGLE "THE SEED" + JOIN YOURS & OWLS FESTIVAL 2021 LINE UP

SUBLIME DEBUT ALBUM PARADISE CLUB
IS OUT NOW VIA FARMER & THE OWL

Adelaide’s Paradise Club have celebrated the release of their long-awaited debut album today with their new single “The Seed”, as well as joining the Yours & Owls Festival 2021 line up.

Perfectly encapsulating the Paradise Club vibe, “The Seed” expertly weaves shimmering guitars with pulsating beats and rich synths that completely consumes the soul. Lyrically, the single is an introspective examination of a rough patch and coming through the other side with fond memories.

“I flew to Melbourne for a few days to finish off the album. We spent two and half days writing absolute shit,” recalls frontman Gere Fuss. “We knew this would be the first song on the record and wanted something memorable. A couple hours before driving back to the airport, we finally had it. The song talks about a rough patch I was in, going out every night, but then moves to explain that through all of that I was able to build friendships and earn experiences to write about and look back on with a smile.”

Crafted over three-and-a-half years, Paradise Club romantically deliberates themes of love, death, family and friends tempered with a blissful soundtrack that yearns for carefree summer days that bleed into endless nights on the dance floor.

Named one of the 10 Australian Picks for July by NME, on their debut, the publication said, “the Adelaide band blend warm, textural layers of guitars and synths with propulsive rhythms for an album that sways as much as it bops, soundtracking the intoxicating, heady feeling of nostalgia.” Additionally, Beat Mag stated, “the album’s equally as concerned with indie-rock songcraft as it is interweaving guitar melodies and textural atmospherics,” but Blunt Mag summed it up best, labelling Paradise Club as “shimmering, blissful angst”.

Blooming onto the Adelaide scene in 2017, Paradise Club instantly stood out as a DIY force – everything from writing to recording to producing the accompanying music videos, the band had it covered. They quickly forged a strong identity both sonically and aesthetically while honing their stagecraft supporting the likes of Ocean Alley, Trophy Eyes, Endless Heights and The Lemonheads and also opening up the Adelaide leg of Laneway Festival in 2018. The next stop for Paradise Club is Yours & Owls Festival in 2021.
