This is a highly promising debut. It plays like a brain chemistry experiment gone horribly right.”
Methyl Ethel makes dream-pop for insomniacs with shadowy, nocturnal music whose surfaces shimmer barely conceals the fidgety, restless soul lurking underneath. After causing a storm at Brisbane’s Big Sound festival late last year, as a trio Methyl Ethel were snapped up by 4AD Records. They come from the same town as Tame Impala and write similarly infectious psych pop, albeit with a chorus-friendly twist on it.
Today marks the global release of “Oh Inhuman Spectacle”, the crepuscular debut album by Australian trio Methyl Ethel. To celebrate, the band have launched a video to their latest single ‘Twilight Driving’, which you can watch here,.
Methyl Ethel are currently on their maiden UK and European tour, with a number of shows in London and Brighton at The Great Escape within the next week.
