the drones new album out today + uk dates!
a quick post to say the new drones album 'Havilah' is out today worldwide and that some press people said:
"The saviours of Australian rock...melancholy, incendiary...brutal, brilliant." – Everett True
"The quartet [have] elemental power." - Mojo
“What Havilah does is jumps up and down on the rotting carcasses of The Vines and Jet, stabbing them again and again with a flag that says ‘Miles. Better. Than. You. Ever. Were.’” - NME
"Havilah marks a run of three brilliant records in a row...the recent SBS historical series Great Australian Albums seems less than authoritative when placed next to a band like this." – Andrew Ramadge, Mess And Noise
also some UK dates (their first since May 2007) just announced, tickets on sale from Friday:
Thu 21 May - London, The Luminaire
Wed 10 June - Birmingham, Hare & Hounds
Thurs 11 June - Nottingham, Bodega Social Club
