Elsewhere, the band released their latest single ‘U Should Not Be Doing That’, along with a B-side called ‘Fact’s’. The new songs marked their first new music in three years, since they dropped their second album ‘Comfort To Me‘ in 2021.
NME last spoke to Amyl & The Sniffers back in 2021, where Taylor spoke about how ‘Comfort To Me’ addressed the political environment Australians were facing in the summer of 2019.
“‘Capital’ is about how many people are left on the outskirts of society without any help – especially none from fucking Scott Morrison, the absolute tosser,” Taylor told NME. “We’re all getting taxed to buggery and getting nothing in return. In bushfire season he gave nobody a helping hand.
“I’m not that well educated about politics, but during bushfire season all of the Indigenous people had advanced backburning set-ups and the government just ignored that. Also, Indigenous incarceration rates are off the fucking Richter scale.”
In a four-star review of ‘Comfort To Me‘, NME shared: “When the band rally against being pigeonholed on ‘Don’t Fence Me In’, it feels like they’ve finally escaped this fate – sure, they can still pull a decent pint of pub rock, but ‘Comfort To Me’ serves as proof that there’s far more to them than just that.”
In other news, Amyl & The Sniffers have been announced for a stacked Primavera Festival lineup this year alongside Lana Del Rey, Pulp, The National, FKA Twigs, SZA, Disclosure and more.
