Speaking with Rolling Stone AU\/NZ<\/a>, guitarist Mikey Young reflected on the surprising nature of the album drop.<\/p>\n\u201cEven back in the day when we were busier, I don\u2019t think we ever enjoyed the press game,\u201d he admitted. \u201cThe intentional build-up to things can add time to the release and usually once we\u2019re finished making a record, we\u2019re just done and we want it out. If you start to tie in press and labels and stuff like that, it\u2019s like, \u2018Oh, we\u2019re gonna need six months,\u2019 or something.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd now that we\u2019re bypassing labels altogether, even overseas, we want it out as freshly as possible. So, I think that the lack of fanfare is intentional. We\u2019ve always wanted to let the music speak for itself, and people will gravitate to it if there\u2019s a quality to it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Young also discussed their Vivid LIVE show, which takes place tonight at Sydney\u2019s Tumbalong Park.\u00a0The all-ages show will be the cult band\u2019s second major appearance since a surprise set at Dark Mofo in 2016.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s the ideal thing for us \u2014 having a free show anyone can come to, that all ages can come to,\u201d Young told Rolling Stone AU\/NZ. \u201cIt\u2019s really hard to put on all-ages shows in venues these days, so a show that\u2019s open for everyone is the most ideal thing. I feel lucky to be asked, and we would like to do more of those kinds of shows \u2014 they\u2019re pretty perfect for us.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think the free outdoor show is going to cancel out the other Sydney show at Factory Theatre [on July 3], \u2018cos they\u2019re very different experiences.\u201d<\/p>\n
