Perth MusicSparkadia Touring Nationally
With their debut album Postcards just released, Sydneysiders Sparkadia have been embraced as the new darlings of the UK press scene, with influential music mag NME declaring that frontman Alex Burnett’s voice “is like having warm honey poured in your ears”.
The four-piece have been traversing the UK playing festivals like Glastonbury, T in the Park, Wireless, Oxygen and V, and have shows in Spain, France and Germany all coming up. They’ll then return to Australia for a huge national run of dates with Faker in September before kicking off the Australian summer at Homebake.
It’s been a huge year for Sparkadia. Postcards hit the ARIA album chart at an impressive #23 and was chosen as triple j’s feature album, the band toured with Jimmy Eat World, Vampire Weekend and The Thrills before selling out their own Australian headline tour. Now with the UK press behind them, they’re set to take on the world.
New single Jealousy has just hit radio and TV, with a slightly controversial video clip doing its best to engage and confuse viewers. Wedding cake anyone? Watch it here: www.youtube.com/ivyleaguerecords and judge for yourself what’s really going on…
Postcards also features the singles ‘Too Much To Do‘, ‘Morning Light‘ and ‘Animals‘, and is already being hailed by some local critics as one of the year’s best records:
