In 2002, Sydney band Bluebottle Kiss released their fourth album, Revenge Is Slow, containing 50 minutes of expansive indie and experimental art rock. A kind of melodic, baroque psychedelic pop that captured the musical ambition and songwriting craft of the band at the height of their success. "It was an album that was colourful and imaginative, but somehow accessible too," reflects singer, guitarist, and songwriter Jamie Hutchings.
The album's trio of singles – 'Gangsterland', 'Ounce of Your Cruelty', and 'Father's Hands' – received widespread airplay on triple j, spearheading highly successful regional and suburban gigs across the country.
Now, 24 years later, the album receives its first release on vinyl courtesy of Australian indie label Love As Fiction Records.
