Paper Mache Dream Balloon LP

Their seventh album in four years, Paper Mache Dream Balloon is the bands ATO debut and marks a shift in the bands trademark face-melting sound:

“After Mind Fuzz and Quarters I was starting to get over concept records. I wanted to make an album with a collection of short unrelated songs. I wanted to steer away from electric guitar music, which I feel like wed explored pretty heavily on the last couple. So Paper Mache Dream Balloon, the concept-less concept album, got a concept.

No electric instruments, just acoustic guitars, flute, double bass, fiddle, harmonica, drum kit, clarinet. Whatever we could find really. We recorded it mostly in an empty shipping container on my parents farm in country Victoria. It was all horses, emus, and tim tams. – Stu Mackenzie of KGATLW
