Chook Race – Around The House (Trouble In Mind) Ltd col LP

Product Description

Melbourne, Australia band Chook Race formed in 2010, starting out as a scrappy, garage/surf band, but soon developed a greater pop sensibility, born of their love of the Flying Nun bands and other bedroom favorites. After a string of of tapes and 7″s Chook Race return with new album ‘Around The House’, due for release on September 2nd through Chicago’s Trouble in Mind Records.

The ten songs on “Around The House” are oddly withdrawn yet highly personal tunes, but performed by the band with a desperate urgency. Songs like the immediate & catchy “Hard To Clean” & “Sometimes” clang & clatter like chrome-plated pop earworms, while others like the somber “Pink & Grey” and album-closer “Start Anew” hum pensively, quietly insinuating themselves into your subconscious.

Captured in a single day by Tom Hardisty (NUN, Woollen Kits) and mastered by Mikey Young (Total Control, Eddy Current Suppression Ring) the album has a compelling sound defined by jangly guitars, boy-girl harmonies and lyrical observations of the everyday.
