Hailing from Melbourne, the sextet known as Bollard, consisting of Tom Walsh, Lam Jushung (The Mirrors, Raindogs), Luke Scott (Highschool, Raindogs), Benton Ching, Wes Faulkner, and Marni Walsh, has recently unveiled their album Lo, with New Way In standing out as one of its finest sonic representatives. This track is a compelling mid-tempo post punk piece with a highly dystopian vibe and powerhouse vocals, embodying an 80s art rock approach that carries the Australian dark rock legacy.
The guitar work in this song is exemplary, making it feel like the offspring of Sonic Youth, Unwound, and The Birthday Party—a fusion of influences that results in a captivating and distinct musical experience.
