“With that laid-back guitar line, the Arctic’s vibe in the delivery, and the psych tinges here and there, how could you not love it.” – Richard Kingsmill

 “It’s a spacey, colourful gem which is to be expected, but there’s also a restraint and a touch of 70s soft rock in there too. I’m expecting to see some sharp, oversized suits and camp collar shirts next time I see you live.” – Declan Byrne, triple j Home & Hosed

“This band doesn’t slow down! After dropping their first record in 2020 they’re already giving us new music. We’re not worthy! I love how they’re embracing their melodic and proggy side more and more here while it still feels like a big DBD sing-along.” – Dave Ruby Howe, triple j unearthed

The day has finally come, Death by Denim fans can rejoice as they finally share their much-anticipated sophomore album Moonbow, out now via ADA/Warner, which includes hits  ‘Small World’, ‘Cause A Scene’, ‘Feels Like Fiction’ & most recent release ‘Make It Up As We Go’

To celebrate they have offered up the clip to title track, which kicks off the album & sets the tone for the record as an elusive answer and resolution to all the questions posed by the other songs, starting at the end and working backwards like a Christopher Nolan movie.

“Join us on our psychedelic lunar escapade as we journey to find the ever illusive and fleeting ‘moonbow’. Filmed with the help of Ashlee Mclernon, we transformed our house over the course of the video into a space disco club and captured the antics that followed.”

The album addresses pivotal thoughts and experiences of the past few years. Growing feelings of social anxiety and inadequacy, existential crises over a cup of coffee, getting off the sidelines and standing up for social and environmental activism and quite literally making it all up as you go.

The band explain, “The past two years had been about keeping perspective and a healthy outlook despite the uncertainty of the future. The good times have always outweighed the bad and while there have been setbacks there is still this beaming excitement amongst us all to continue on the musical path. I think this is reflected in the overall tone of the album. Though it explores some darker personal moments and emotions at times there is this greater sense of triumph and recognition. You could say ‘Moonbow’ is all about learning to overcome and be comfortable with the chaos and confusion in your life – past, present and future.”

Moonbow is a dynamic leap from their hugely successful debut album Sleepless and Sunkissed, packed full of rich melody and lyrics that pull you in all directions. The band delivered the first glimpses of what to expect from the album with 2021 hits ‘Small World’, ‘Cause A Scene’ and ‘Feels Like Fiction’ and they did not disappoint, garnering praise from triple j, Unearthed, NME AUS, The Music & Life Without Andy.

Back at Debaser Studios only a few weeks after the release of their debut album, they were ready to get going on their second album and eager to take the band into a new chapter of the DBD-Verse. Spending their year grounded, with no other alternative but to self-reflect, the band were able to find a lot of highs via their soul-searching. Personal relationships and struggles narrated by introspective commentary have been a key feature of the album along with their collective experience over the last year as a band.

Moonbow showcases depth and integrity, both musically and intellectually, and shines a light on the limitless directions Death by Denim can sonically pull you throughout the course of an album. Strap yourselves in for one mind-altering journey.
