"Australia’s world-renowned cinematic soul outfit Surprise Chef return with new album Superb. A record that represents a change in their creative approach and turns up the heat in their music. Trading in their meticulous writing and recording techniques for a looser and less planned approach with the intentions of bringing more levity to the process, and it comes through in spades. The high caliber musicianship is still front and center, but they push their sound into a more energetic and fun place on this album. Album opener 'Sleep Dreams' is the closest thing to a Surprise Chef tune one would come to expect, but then lead single 'Bully Ball' comes on and you get the picture that they came to kick in the door on this one. The fellas turn up the tempo for the dance with tunes like 'Consulate Case' and 'Tag Dag'; the former pulling influence from afro-funk and the latter from jazz-funk. They take us deep into the beautiful world of Surprise Chef ballads on 'Websites' and double down on their abilities to make beautiful and ethereal tracks with 'Dreamer’s Disease'.

- Turntable Lab exclusive
- translucent red colored vinyl
- limited edition of 200
