The record is said to be “11 tracks of fuel for the soul” and comes after Rainbows In Space (2013). Recorded at Holes And Corners in South Melbourne alongside Sam Johnson, the album kicks off with smash hit ‘Party Machine’. The last minute track was inspired by a psy-trance festival just out of Sydney and became an instant fan favourite.
Exploring new directions as always, The Bennies are sure to keep things interesting with their new record. It is said to include the politically charged ‘Corruption’ and the emotionally powerful ‘O Brother, Where Art Thou?’. Additionally, ‘Maybe We Could Get High’ features guest vocals from Jay Whalley (Frenzal Rhomb) and Ezra Kire (Morning Glory) is heard singing on ‘Turning Around’.
Set to tour Wisdom Machine across Australia later this year, The Bennies will be joined by Off With Their Heads (Epitaph Records) and Adelaide’s Hightime.
