Following the critically acclaimed release of their debut long-player “Between Last Night & Us” ARIA award winning band The Audreys will release their much anticipated sophomore album, When The Flood Comes, on April 19th (through ABC Music).

The first single off the album, ‘Paradise City’ was released digitally on March 15 and has already been added to triple J’s playlist.

Paradise City is a stand out track that the band have been performing live over the last few months: “It has changed a lot from the version we’d started playing live but it’s changed for the better,” says Taasha Coates (songwriter/vocalist and multi instrumentalist). Fellow songwriter Tristan Goodall adds “it’s always a great track to play live, and now it has a new life on the record. We took a lot of time to get it right in the studio”

After nearly two years of constant touring and sell out shows, rave reviews and an ARIA win, the band had found themselves high and dry in a song writing drought. But in a universe controlled by dynamic balance, The Audreys’ song writing drought was broken by a flood. Rather than a metaphorical flood of songs, it was a soaking of sentiment that seeps into the corners of When the Flood Comes.

This is an album of lyrical and sonic beauty that expands their musical template beyond the alt-country-tinged instrumentation and smoky pop of their gorgeous debut. Musically, it’s a revelation that almost defies categorization. It aches. It breaks. And it drips with passion.

To coincide with the album release the band will also head out for an extensive national tour, which will include all capital cities and extend into many regional areas. Special guest support on all shows will be J Walker (Machine Translations)
