Brisbane quartet Blank Realm (siblings Luke, Daniel and Sarah Spencer, and Luke Walsh) have been storming the Australian underground scene, as well as turning heads around the globe, with their infectious psychedelic pop. Racking up accolades after extensive European and US tours, supporting Kurt Vile and Robert Forster, and performing at South By Southwest and Glastonbury, the band have quickly garnered a reputation for their pop smarts and inimitable soundblistering somewhere between krautrock and Flying Nun Records' roster. Signed to the prestigious Fire Records, their new album Grassed Inn, following the critically acclaimed Go Easy, is drenched in catchy, off-kilter fluorescent pop and considered their best yet, placing Blank Realm at the forefront of the Australian underground renaissance.

Citing The Velvet Underground, Can and The Go-Betweens as influences, and likened to a warped version of The Zombies or Echo & the Bunnymen, Blank Realm are perhaps becoming best known for their soaring, euphoric psych melodies that when played live incite all and sundry into joining the ecstatic dance-floor pandemonium. Do yourself a favour and catch the band that have been receiving rapturous receptions coast to coast, with The Guardian calling them ‘the greatest live band in Australia (scatch that, the world)”.
