PAUL MAC 'PANIC ROOM'
As some Disso fans may know Paul Mac has been hard at work on his second solo album. Below is a message from Paul telling us all about it. You can now listen to the first two tracks from the album at www.paulmac.com.au where you can also subscribe to the mailing list and be alerted to release dates etc.
Hey folks,
It's been a while between drinks I must say, but as you may have heard
on the radio or in the clubs I'm perilously close to being back with a
new album "Panic Room" (also the name of my studio). I've been
working on it for about 4 years (in between Dissociative stuff) and it's
all very thunderbolt of lightening... very, very frightening!! and exciting
being about to give birth to my new musical baby.
The first single is a bit of a double A side, with the track "Panic Room" featuring Lenka (you may know her from such bands as Decoder Ring) and "Sunshine Eyes" featuring my soul sister peta morris. There are some cool remixes including my own Stereogamous extension, a pumping workout by Melbourne faves Ivan Gough and Grant Smillie, and a collaboration with Nick Littlemore from pnau. Hope you like it!
Stay tuned
for website rebuild with cool new features, and I'll try to keep you posted
as info comes to hand, feet and lips!
Love to youse, and thanks for coming
mac!
p.s. see ya at Homebake if not before.
