One of Australia’s most eclectic artists Bootleg Rascal have today revealed their new conceptual album SLOPPY SECONDS – produced entirely by the band themselves.
Featuring 2021 singles ‘All About You’ ft. Saint Lane’ and ‘Therapy’ ft. Citizen Kay & MAXINE; and past discography reimagined, the record is a diversified offering of hip-hop, indie-rock, reggae and electronica. Including reworked renditions of fan favourites such as ‘Asleep In The Machine’ and ‘Overflow’, their modern song writing skilfully blends the genres of their foundation, shining a light on certain special projects that have always been fervently imperative to the group’s enduring career.
“When the world stopped, I started to really think about projects I’ve always wanted to do but never had enough time for. One thing on the bucket list was to have made a record which embraced the whole ‘something old, new, borrowed’ concept,” explains guitarist Jimmy Young.
In celebration of the release, Bootleg Rascal will embark on a three-date New Zealand tour, with performances scheduled in Christchurch, Wellington and Auckland for September 2022.
They’re a mainstay on the Australian and New Zealand live scene, and have sold-out multiple shows in France, UK, Netherlands, Germany, USA, New Zealand and Australia.
