Melbourne’s The Stroppies are back this spring with a new album titled Levity. In past recordings the four-piece has impressed us with their adept pop craftsmanship and wit. In this offering, the band promises a somewhat darker take, which seem to match the world we live in. As evidenced by the debut single “The Perfect Crime”, the targeted perspective is conveyed with more distortion, a more motornik rhythm, and to our ears, a touch of Velvet Underground. We think this adds up to a very promising release.
The Stroppies are Angus Lord, Caudia Serfaty, Rory Heane, and Adam Hewitt. Levity will be out May 5 via Tough Love Recordings.
