Underground Lovers

Having only come together a couple of times since their unofficial split in 2002, undergroundLOVERS will be reforming this November to promote the release of ‘Wonderful Things: Retrospective’.

The long-awaited two-disc retrospective is a guided tour over the bands lengthy career from 1990-2000. Disc one ‘Wonderful Things’ includes renowned singles ‘Promenade’, ‘Holiday’, ‘I Was Right’, ‘Eastside Stories’, and of course one of their single highlights ‘Your Eyes’ taken from album ‘Leaves Me Blind’ – Rolling Stone ‘Best Australian Record’ (1992). The disc also includes ‘Losing It’ from their Dream It Down album, which landed at no. 19 in the 1994 Triple J Hottest 100.

Whilst ‘Everybody’s Favourite’ the second disc, is all the special bits in-between including remixes and b-sides.

Lovingly assembled by the band and re-mastered by their original mastering engineer Don Bartley. The new release features artwork by long-time visual collaborators Other Rooms, also responsible for Ways T Burn and Cold Feeling album designs.

Appropriately released on longtime label partner Rubber Records through Co-op, ‘Wonderful Things: Retrospective’ will be available at all good record stores and digitally from November 4th, 2011.

“We tried to make long play records that you could listen to from start to finish and somehow be taken on a journey,” says Giarrusso.

With Wonderful Things, it’s come full circle.
