Twerps Range Anxiety CD

Melbourne pop foursome Twerps are excited to announce the release of their long-awaited second album, Range Anxiety, Chapter Musicwill release the album for Australia on January 23, 2015 through Rocket, while it's overseas edition will see release from the estimableMerge Records (home of Arcade Fire and many others) the next week. The band made a major splash in 2011 with their self-titled debut on Chapter, one which made many year-end Best Of lists and saw the band touring and playing playing festivals both here and abroad, Their melodic, bittersweet jangle-rock, influenced by the likes of The Clean, Feelies and the Go-Betweens, among many others, really made a mark. Range Anxiety is a real leap forward for the band, Recorded again with Jack Farley, it sees singer-guitarists Martin Frawley and Julia McFarlane working in perfect harmony with Rick Milovanovic and new drummer Alex McFarlane, creating a very Australian brand of pop/rock: laconic, laidback and with a wide sense of pastoral space. Expectations are big with Range Anxiety, With it's international release, it's already received coverage in the likes of Pitchfork and Spin, and locally it's already receiving play on Triple/Double J and community radio, Expect reviews and more coverage in Rolling Stone, street press, music sites and blogs, Mess & Noise and more in the coming months. They've just played a series of shows here with War On Drugs and will be touring early in 2015 with Belle & Sebastian and Stephen Malkmus, as well as Golden Plains and launch shows around the country. 2015 is the Year Of The Twerps!
