Tambourine Jesus are an Australian experimental rock trio featuring James Gilligan (bass, vocals), Liam Gough (drums, vocals) and Neil Wilkinson (guitar, vocals). Their eclectic self-titled debut album contains eight original tracks that confidently claim their own place in the neo-psychedelic prog rock universe. As if the funky and bluesy playfulness of White Denim goes together with the orchestral and post-apocalyptic futurism of Radiohead – exciting, alienating and atmospheric. Song titles range from Tropical Dream to Ticket To The End Of The World, the cover photo and video below take place in fur suits in a glass cube in a rugged landscape at dusk, which says a lot about the musicians’ intentions. With success, because you’ll watch and listen breathlessly.
The self-titled Tambourine Jesus album is out now digitally, and on cassette, CD and vinyl LP. Performed, produced & recorded by Tambourine Jesus, and mixed & mastered by Joe Talia. The intriguing cover art is by Sean McDonald.
