SOJOURN
"Welcome, how did you know it was black dress?"
Do you remember the time when you got sick of being treated like shit by your older brother? When you got tired of the meathead bully taking your seat on the bus? Well, Melbourne rock band Sojourn are sick of playing it nice. No more "youthful rock n roll in its simplest fashion." Their new Double A-side possesses dark introspection, grit and fire.
Load Up is a crooked exercise in leering post-punk that pays homage to searing bass tones of Bauhaus and Joy Division while not abandoning Sojourn’s rock’n’roll roots. Spaceship is a heavily distorted exercise in wet production – like a drunk Captain Kirk commandeering the Death Star and crashing it into the Sun (Daniel Watt - Beat Magazine). This new Double-A side was recorded by Loki Lockwood, a master in bringing grime out in music, just look at his resume: Spencer P Jones, The Drones, Hugo Race.
Sojourn are currently in negotiations to return to the U.S.A to embark on another tour after the success of their December 2007 stint, which saw them play to capacity crowds at the Viper Room and Key Club in Hollywood.
Load Up and Spaceship will be available globally on i-tunes from December 2008.
