SPRINGTIME - SPRINGTIME

Gareth Liddiard (Tropical Fuck Storm / The Drones), Jim White (Dirty Three / Xylouris White) and Chris Abrahams (The Necks) are Springtime, a new endeavour that is as much a tonal experiment as it is a meditation on modern-day absurdity. Springtime’s self-titled debut combines free jazz, poignant lyricism crafted alongside renowned Irish poet Ian Duhig (AKA Gareth Liddiard’s uncle), and improvisation to craft austere portraits of a world paralysed by shellshock. It’s as monstrously ravishing as it is clumsy in its elegance.
