Products description
Sydney Northern Beaches' very own hard-biting rockers C.O.F.F.I.N are proud to share their fifth full-length studio album entitled 'Australia Stops', the highly-anticipated follow-up from their monumental 'Children In Finland Fighting In Norway' album from 2020. Out September 15th 2023 via Damaged Record Co in Australia, Bad Vibrations in Europe and Goner Records in North America.
'Australia Stops' was recorded in January 2023 at The Pet Food Factory studio with producer Jason Whalley (Frenzal Rhomb) behind the desk. A record that showcases a collection of diverse and gripping new works that highlight the band's evolution into more melodious, 1970's Australiana and boogie rock and roll. Frenzied, high-voltage guitars, thumping rhythms, flowing melody and clever, captivating lyrics exhibit an undeniable progression in composition and song-writing, while still unmistakably the C.O.F.F.I.N that fans world-wide have come to worship over their 18 year lifespan.
For those who are no strangers to the Australian highways, 'Australia Stops' may be best recognised as words donned on the back of truck mud flaps. To C.O.F.F.I.N, 'Australia Stops' are words that became a polysemous idea and observation on Australian society, culture, art, politics and progression. "When the city burns up you get out, when the flint hits shot you get down", lyrics roared by drummer/vocalist, Ben Portnoy, a look into 'idle-Australia', our government action (or lack thereof) to social issues and the overarching notion of fear of change in this country.
While the theme 'Australia Stops' poses political questions and ideals, it also synchronously shines light on the eminence of community, the healthy beating heart of art and music, the beautiful landscapes and divergent nature surroundings held dear within Australia. With this, 'Australia Stops' is neither a fully positive or negative elucidation of this country. It is a celebration of the things we are lucky to have, while always trying to encourage and inspire those around us to try and do better.
