On the back of their brilliant new album ‘The Bells Line’, 78 Saab are excited to announce their upcoming May tour.

78 Saab reside in good company. Over the past ten years, the Sydney four piece have produced timeless music that sits comfortably alongside the likes of Died Pretty, The Church and The Triffids. They present a world that is uniquely their own, but also a part of the legacy of those great bands who came before them. They have set a standard of timeless song writing for which they have become much loved and on their new album ‘The Bells Line’ they attest this once again.

Hailed as one of the finest Australian albums of 2007, ‘The Bells Line’ is an album full of atmosphere, a beautiful collection of Ben Nash portraits celebrating how small our lives are, set against the backdrop of the wider world and enormous landscapes we live in. The sky, satellites, stars, sleep, dreams, nostalgia and sleeplessness are the recurring themes in Nash’s lyrics. The widescreen ambition in the playing of the band and sounds curated by producer Wayne Connolly (Youth Group, Josh Pyke, The Vines, You Am I) are the perfect accompaniment to the lyrical sentiments. The magic of 78 Saab lies in their ability to take subjects that are every day and within our immediate experience, and lay a gauze over them, making the every day seem dream-like, magical and beyond the mundane.
