jetpacktuxedo This entire album feels like it could have fallen straight out of some sort of Noir movie in the absolute best possible way. Favorite track: New Ferrari.

frownfork Thanks so much for mind blowing show in Brissy. Match fit!

Leon Frey Cut above groove from Down Under players. Absolutely brilliant.

about

Daylight Savings is the second full-length album by Melbourne's cinematic soul journeymen Surprise Chef.

Recorded over a weekend in Surprise Chef's DIY analogue studio (dubbed The College Of Knowledge), Daylight Savings expands on the dramatic 1970s cinematic soul sound established on their acclaimed first album, 2019's All News Is Good News.

Created in Spring 2019, just as the jasmine bush in the backyard of the College Of Knowledge was coming to full bloom, Daylight Savings is filled with the optimism and hope that comes with the impending long, warm evenings after a dreary Melbourne winter.

(Tu nous) Connaissais de Face, I love this track and not because the title is in French and I'm French but because I think it represents the album well. A perfect and indefinable alchemy between incompatible ingredients. Unavoidable !...de Face, to profile, from all sides... #laurent¥auriol#
