Hot on the heels of their widely celebrated recent Big Crown debut, Melbourne sound explorers Surprise Chef return with another half-dozen killer tunes. It's great to hear the guys expanding their finely crafted sound here, throwing in a woozy wobbly synth line here, some moody ambience there, and generally fixing what wasn't broke, to brilliant effect. Hell, they've even thrown in a couple of extra-funky numbers, busting out of their usually restrained boundaries to have a little fun - Flying Out
Since the release of Surprise Chef’s 2022 album, Education & Recreation they have been touring across the US, Europe, and Australia selling out shows and cementing themselves as a force to be reckoned with. Releasing three albums and a string of successful 7” singles since 2019, their output is nothing short of prolific and they show no signs of slowing down with the announcement of their new Friendship EP.Friendship is a six song 12” EP that picks up where the last album left off and pushes their sound in new directions as they take on different energies and make them their own. The EP opens with “Rosemary Hemphill”, a gorgeous yet haunting tune that takes the listener through a myriad of musical changes and moods. “Friendship Theme” is a bouncy and energetic number with an infectious and driving topline that is sure to move dancefloors around the globe. “Over The Moon” is pure mood music that puts Surprise Chef’s restraint and tasteful use of space front and center while “Spiky Boi” is a frantic upbeat number drenched in percussion and keyboards.
