Hailing from Melbourne, the illustrious sextet known as Bollard, comprising Tom Walsh, Lam Jushung (The Mirrors, Raindogs), Luke Scott (Highschool, Raindogs), Benton Ching, Wes Faulkner, and Marni Walsh, is fervently crafting their highly anticipated second album, Lo, poised to enrapture our auditory senses in the near future. Offering us a tantalizing glimpse into their sonic tapestry, they have graced us with the exceptional single, Between the Hemispheres. Within this captivating composition, echoes of 80s post punk and “gloomy” rock intermingle with the vibrant hues of modern indie rock, while a captivating bassline serves as its formidable backbone. The ideally ballanced vocals find perfect equilibrium, blending seamlessly with the compelling chorus that permeates our consciousness, while bleeding guitars pave an evocative path into the depths of our very souls.
Bollard defies easy categorization, choosing to create art for their own sonic sanctuary rather than adhere to genre constraints. However, their sonic ethos undeniably pays homage to the rich tapestry of 80s musical eras, forging a mesmerizing auditory experience that transcends the boundaries of time.
