Interview by Bec Harbour
It’s been four years since the pandemic release of Faux Wave, which was a 4ZZZ Album of the Week, and received airplay on community radio stations across Australia. They have a new album, It Goes Away With The Heat which is a return to the embrace of the tropics for The Stress of Leisure. The title is also reflective of the age of hyper-politics we’re all living through. It’s somewhat post-punk, somewhat faux-wave, and unsurprisingly dabbles on the edges of weirdo, as you’d expect from this quartet.
Bec had a catch up with Ian Powne, guitarist/singer for The Stress of Leisure about the new album, all of the water under the bridge since Faux Wave, a bit of politics, touring with Custard and The Fauves and whether Zoom was going to behave itself. Check out the full interview below.
