Again

Description

Following the reissue of their debut album *Lush Life* in 2023 by Third Man Records — acclaimed by critics with a 4/5 in NME, a 7.8 on Pitchfork, and a selection in The Guardian's Ones To Watch — Melbourne band The Belair Lip Bombs are set to release their highly anticipated second album, *Again*, on October 31st. The quartet has progressively established itself as a cornerstone of the Australian indie scene, blending punk energy with expansive melodic sensibilities. Led by Maisie Everett on guitar, keyboards, and vocals, and joined by Mike Bradvica (guitars), Jimmy Droughton (bass), and Daniel Devvlin (drums), the album was recorded with producer Joe White of Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever. *Again* continues the band's distinctive sound, offering a refined yet powerful blend of broad arrangements, driving rhythms, and emotional performances, highlighting the band's evolution since *Lush Life*. The first single, "Hey You," showcases the Lip Bombs' ability to create ethereal melodies and unifying choruses, setting the tone for this ambitious musical journey. With *Again*, the band confirms its reputation as one of Australia's most captivating indie acts, combining raw energy with cinematic melodic compositions.
