SPIRAL STAIRS ANNOUNCES NEW ALBUM WE WANNA BE HYP-NO-TIZED AND AUSTRALIAN TOUR

One of the most influential voices from the ‘90s indie rock movement, former Pavement co-founder Spiral Stairs has a brand new single Hyp-No-Tized and is playing a run of shows in Australia this April to celebrate!

The new tune – the first taste of the phenomenal new album We Wanna Be Hyp-No-Tized which drops this March – is a brash and joyous number which nods to everything from The Fall to Iggy Pop to Roxy Music, laden with both horns and hooks as well as an infectious call-and-response chorus, Kannberg shouting inscrutable slogans over the enticing cacophony.

These days living with his Australian wife and family on Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, Spiral Stairs bounced back into the public consciousness in 2017 with the release of his acclaimed second solo album Doris & The Daggers – reviews all over the world gleefully trumpeting the album as his best work since the halcyon days of Pavement – and We Wanna Be Hyp-No-Tizedgalvanises his return with a batch of catchy earworm songs bursting with confidence and top-notch musicality.

Excitingly Australian fans will be experience these new songs in the flesh this April as Spiral Stairs returns armed with the We Wanna Be Hyp-No-Tized album to spread his good-time gospel at Tallarook’s beloved Boogie Festival as well as select headlining shows in Melbourne, Ballarat and Brisbane.

This ain’t no magic trick nor lazy rhetoric, come be hypnotised by an indie rock icon steadfastly refusing to rest on his laurels!

PS: Spiral Stairs’ lengthy stints living in Australia are well-documented, but rumours that Hyp-No-Tized started its life named I Wanna Head-Butt Barnesy are probably just that: rumours.
