Bleak Squad is a new Melbourne four-piece comprised of true Australian art-rock royalty.
Featuring Mick Turner (Dirty Three, Mess Esque), Mick Harvey (Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, PJ Harvey, The Birthday Party), Adalita (Magic Dirt) and Marty Brown (Art of Fighting), the unlikely quartet unite for the first time on Bleak Squad’s brooding, noir-rock debut LP, Strange Love.
The album, announced today, will be released on Poison City on August 22. It is available to pre-order now.
Today also sees the release of the album’s first single and video, Lost My Head, and the announcement of the band’s first run of shows in October, with two warm-up gigs set for regional Victoria in August.
