Sydney, AU. (Top40 Charts/ EMI MUSIC Australia) - End of Fashion are doing what they love best: heading out on the road on a national headline tour in September/October to support the release of their new album "Book Of Lies" on
September 27. They fashionable young lads from WA will be playing with special guests The Seabellies and Harlequin League.
"Book Of Lies" was recorded at home in Perth, with producer Magoo (Regurgitator, Midnight Oil, Powderfinger) and Andy Lawson (The Avenues), and finished off by Tim Palmer (U2, The Cure, Robert Plant) who mixed the album in Los Angeles. A new spirit and energy are reflected in the songs and while the pop nous and melodic attentiveness the band displayed on their debut LP makes a signature return, End Of Fashion have crafted an album that is more brutal and angular than the last.
"Fussy", the first single lifted from the album, hit the radio airwaves this week causing a rippling effect across the country. Turn on any station in the country and you'll hear it. Be on the lookout for the very non-traditional music video clip to accompany the song, directed by Natasha Pincus (Inside Film Award winner, Best Music Video 2007 for Paul Kelly's 'God Told Me To'), as the first installment of a two part video series which is bound to create a stir. Lead singer Justin Burford embodies a whole new persona.
Think "Wolf Creek" meets "Dexter".
