NOVO: A word used to describe the actions, attitudes, beliefs, and dispositions (among other things) of a lazy, apathetic, and above all, worthless individual from Newcastle, Australia. Move over Savage Garden, Australia’s got a new favourite duo, The Gooch Palms! And they’ve just released their debut album, NOVO’S. Aptly set against news footage of The Star Hotel riots, in Newcastle in 1979, from which Leroy MacQueen & Kat Friend emerged.
Novo’s rare capture of Friends’ sweet nasally vocal, sidles with The Gooch Palms’ scuzzy garage sound and lucid surf-style guitar tones effortlessly. NOVO’S was recorded over a short day at the "Gooch Farm", before sending it across the Pacific, to be mixed and mastered by NOBUNNY guitarist, Jason Testasecca (AKA Elvis Christ) in Oakland, CA. It's charming, it's slacker-punk, and we've got a feeling you'll fucken love it.
