Introducing Bleak Squad; the most well-known Melbourne band no one’s heard of.
Bleak Squad are a new four-piece comprised of Australian art-rock royalty – co-authors of some of the most critically-acclaimed antipodean music of the last 40 years. Featuring Mick Turner (Dirty Three, Mess Esque) Mick Harvey (Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds, PJ Harvey, The Birthday Party), Adalita (Magic Dirt) and Marty Brown (Art of Fighting), “supergroup” is an embarrassing word. “Supernatural” might be more apt.
“I think the name Bleak Squad speaks to both this loose collection of misfits,” says Adalita of the concoction. “And the noirish mood of our music.”
Bleak Squads’s debut LP 'Strange Love' is the evolving sum of these parts, one that sees all four members juggle multiple instruments, songwriting, their own idiosyncrasies and - in the case of Adalita and Harvey - lead vocal duties. The nine songs percolate on brooding guitars, slippery bass lines, organ drones, Brown’s lyrical drumming, and the unmistakable, illogical fizz of Turner’s guitar squawks. Over it, Adalita and Harvey swap and share tales of love dampened, hope on hold and threaded tendrils of acceptance.
