Australian Exclusive Release
'Summerland' - a mythical place where the term 'relaxed and comfortable' thinly veils something sinister, something complex - in which a bright joyous celebration is tempered with a threat. This is where The Herd flourishes - that space between joy and and melancholy, the absurd and the sinister. The album prospers in this mix: musically, with strings and horn arrangements; drums, guitars, basslines; rhymes and singing - and thematically with the widely varying subjects of the 14 songs. From the deeply affecting "Kids Learn Quick" to the raucous "2020"; from the heart-felt "Time to Face The Truth" to the light hearted "Zug Zug". The eight band members represent a variety of cultures and influences, creating a unique formation of songwriters. The notable presence of JANE TYRRELL continues the evolving sound of The Herd's music - lovingly devoted to headphones as well as house parties, and wholly in preparation for the rowdy live shows to come.

On first single and title track: 'Funny track, wholly written with bass and drums not unlike a lot of the Dark Satanic Mills EP. Quite distinct from the rest of the album structurally. Thematically a return to the Eden subject previously explored in the Sunset Studies track 'There Is No Such Place'. - Glenn Richards

Light years away from their instrumental hip hop origins, Hermitude blaze a trail into darker and more complex territory where drums and melody rule the Earth. From the thrilling pursuit of the computer game-esque "Cartridge Kings" to the beautifully sombre "Frayed", they've simultaneously increased the live instrumentation whilst short circuiting it with bass-heavy electronics
