1LP Vinyl – DONNYLOVELP1

So here stands Sensation, in all its primitive glory. Ten tracks unpacking and discarding emotions simultaneously, piling up a full plate at the existential buffet. The first song recorded in the album sessions, the 7-minute monstrosity of a title track, “Sensation”, established the conceptual basis of the record. This exhibits the band's curiosity through exploratory songwriting, blindfolded with their hands in a box trying to understand its contents. The album’s sound incorporates carnal elements of rock, jazz, new wave and soul among other things. Lewd musings over honky keys and punchy bass lines. Poignant guitars and chugging drums. Shrieking horns and silky Rhodes. A timeless sonic palette. Important also is the aspect of place and the band engage with their Gold Coast lineage and the paradox of nocturnal motivations in the Sunshine state.
