After marking their return with the release of their syrupy bop ‘Sugar’ last year, Melbourne’s cult pop-mystiques Dorsal Fins today release their long-awaited third album Star of the Show.
Star of the Show is the group’s first record in seven years, peeling back from a cast of nine mates to a record made by the band’s songwriting trinity – Liam McGorry (Ex-Olympian, Saskwatch), and co-vocalists Ella Thompson (GL) & Jarrad Brown Brown (Eagle and the Worm). A reimagining that spanned a year of Sundays, Star of the Show allows their funky, soulful roots to come through and collide with some “more jangly” flavours in true eclectic ‘Fins form. The self-referential album title Star of the Show is a tongue-in-cheek nod to the truly collaborative nature of the record.
