Set aside the Epstein files, rogue Randy royals and whether Brigitte Macron has a winky or a pippy — the talk of the town is Scandal Tree and their stellar debut album, Never Look a Gift Foot in the Mouth.
These Brisbane boys have made a big splash in recent months with three ripper singles and video clips that have stunned — and in one or two cases, mildly traumatised — reviewers, podcasters and influencers. Now their debut album is set to be a very satisfying cherry-popper.
Treading the fine line between not-too-heavy and not-too-light, Scandal Tree have conspired to create a unique sound and creative vision with the potential for broad appeal. To date, many have tried to slot the band into a musical category or liken them to a “sound”; however, Scandal Tree’s music stubbornly resists comparison.
“I don’t think we have it in us to stick to a particular style or formula,” says frontman Huck. “We’re more like cats chasing a laser pointer. If someone comes up with a riff or idea we dig, we just chase it.”
Rumbling, energetic and always mischievous, their ten-song offering shifts through styles, gears and worlds seamlessly, drawing you deeper with every beat. Each track is wrapped in a shrewd musical arrangement that introduces listeners to odd characters, moody landscapes and uncommon historical backdrops.
The scandal has surfaced. With today’s release, Scandal Tree solidify themselves as one of Australia’s most compelling emerging voices in rock. Available now on all major streaming and download platforms.
