Australian band Nice Biscuit are slated to drop their sophomore album SOS on Oct 4th. The LP will get released on Bad Vibrations in the UK, as well as Greenway Records/Reverberation Appreciation Society in the US. Nice Biscuit’s debut album Digital Mountain dropped back in 2018. Along with the news, the group have also shared their new single ‘The Star’.

Fusing the sounds of 70s Nigerian Afrobeat with psychedelic pop, the track is a trippy and insanely glorious rollercoaster of sound. The entrancing production is fantastic with the vocal melodies fostering a sense of hypnotism.

Nice Biscuit have also shared an accompanying video for ‘The Star’, which you can watch down at the bottom.

Regarding the track, Nice Biscuit mentioned:

“‘The Star’ (inspired by the tarot card of the same name) is about the period of well-deserved healing and peace following big hardship. It is the follow-up to our song The Tower – that depicted chaos and challenges. The Star explores the feeling of surrendering into yourself just as you are and trusting others to guide you through challenges to usher you into a new & brighter chapter of life. The Star was influenced by the joy of being together and peeling away the pressures and anxiety of life. It was created incidentally one morning during a songwriting session, and what felt like an ephemeral jam at the time captured a moment of taking a step back and just appreciating that time together. We felt like we could share that feeling through this song.”
