Gold Coast-based party starters Bootleg Rascal have just announced their new forthcoming album titled ‘Sloppy Seconds’ (due October 29) and a taste of the record via ‘Sharks’ (Remix en Español) – produced entirely by the band themselves.

‘Sloppy Seconds’ will include two recently released new singles ‘All About You’ (ft. Saint Lane) and ‘Therapy’ (ft. Citizen Kay and MAXINE). The remainder of the record will be rounded off with eight tracks reimagined from their discography of two albums ‘Asleep in the Machine’ and ‘Anónimo’, and two EP’s ‘Psychotica’ and ‘Collaborations of Very Isolated Delinquents “19’.

The revamped songs will see acoustic renditions, electronic remixes, and heavy reggae and dub treatments. Offering a glimpse of what’s to come, the taster track ‘Sharks’ (Remix en Español) adopts deft flamenco guitar, groove-laden reggaeton beats and frontman Carlos Lara leaning into his Spanish mother tongue on the chorus.

“When the world stopped, I started to really think about projects I’ve always wanted to do but never had enough time for. One thing on the bucket list was to have made a record which embraced the whole ‘something old, new, borrowed’ concept,” explains guitarist Jimmy Young.

“Sublime was a big part of why I first started playing music in the first place and I still regularly reference them as part of the Bootleg creative process. Their album ‘Second-Hand Smoke’ was a huge inspiration in bringing this idea to life. The record was released not long after front man Bradley Nowell’s death and follows a similar concept where it shines a light on remixed and recycled tracks. It really gives another perspective and take on some of their classics, and as a fan that’s something I really enjoy. Here’s hoping our fans feel the same” he continues.
