In 2010, Australian folk-rock / pop-psych band The Frowning Clouds released their debut album Listen Closelier, which was followed in 2013 by the Whereabouts LP. However, the band had recorded more songs at the time, 8 of which ended up on Gospel Sound From The Church Of Scientology, a European tour cassette in a (quickly sold out) edition of only 100 copies. Good news: that tour tape, two tracks that never actually came out and a handful of non-album singles have now been brought together on the LP Gospel Sounds & More from the Church of Scientology – a total of 14 original tunes from the period 2011/2012. This 60’s inspired garage rock sounds just as contemporary, pure and delightful as the popular work of bands like The Growlers, Night Beats, The Murlocs and The Limiñanas – hopefully it will earn The Frowning Clouds just as much appreciation, that would be well deserved.
Gospel Sounds & More from the Church of Scientology is out now digitally and on vinyl LP through Anti Fade Records.
