Thank you very much for these kind words Backseat Mafia!!
Overland Inn have no boundaries, physical or aural. They are now based in Prague having lived and recorded in Portugal and the UK and now have added an Australian label to the mix. Of the forthcoming album ‘Proxima’, their fourth, the band says:
« Proxima will be out in January 2022. Just like our songs Alpha or Juno, it is named after a space mission. This is our first album in French, but we wrote it in Czechia, mostly during the pandemics. We have used a variety of birds, frogs and other animal sounds, and played them through granular synthesisers. Computers were almost absent from the creation and mastering process, leaving the analogue synth untamed. The whole album shows mixed emotions, somewhere between nostalgia and acceptance. »
To give you an exquisite taste of what’s to come, Overland Inn’s newest single ‘Les Mauvais Jours’ is a shimmering piece of Euro chic, bringing to mind the kind of louche, elegant craft of a Jane Birkin fronted Serge Gainsbourg piece for the modern age – filled with stylistic exotism and atmosphere. Circular, arpeggiated synths and celestial melodies whisper softly with delightful enticement.
What a mutually assured coup for Overland Inn and False Peak Records.
