Australian indie pop duo The Cannanes will issue their first official release in over 11
years on March 19th, 2013. The “Small
Batch” EP contains the fun, bouncy songs that the band's fans know them for
(and that famously earned
them a mention in Kurt Cobain’s
journals.) The Cannanes have been releasing modest, ramshackle records since being
formed in Sydney, Australia by Fran
Gibson and Stephen O’Neil almost
30 years ago.
UK producer Richie
Phoe has his own take on the first single from “Small Batch” and his downtempo remix of “Bumper” is streaming
and available for download
now. BBC Radio 1’s Rob Da Bank
has described Phoe as “Brighton’s Lee Scratch Perry” and fellow BBC Radio 1 DJ Huw Stephens calls his work “Bouncy dub at its very best.”
SPIN recently premiered the original EP version of “Bumper,” with columnist Marc Hogan writing, “Cardigan-owners,
rejoice! Long-running Australian indie-pop combo The Cannanes have returned with ‘Bumper,’ the first taste of their first major release since 2002’s
Trouble
Seemed So Far Away. The ‘Small
Batch’ EP, due March 19, is helmed by veteran members Fran Gibson and Stephen O’Neil;
and while the production quality seems slightly more polished, the earnest
melodicism remains.”
For the “Small
Batch” EP, The Cannanes have once
again collaborated with Explosion
Robinson producer and multi-instrumentalist Stephen Hermann. The
six-track release sees Gibson and O’Neil at their best, back on familiar
territory musing on the nature of friendship, love, and outer space that has
characterized their best work over the last 27 years.
The Cannanes are available for interviews. Check out a recent
