"With their return marked by the release of powerfully emotive singles ‘Amytis’ and ‘Frida’, Perth’s NEW TALK are thrilled to unveil their highly anticipated sophomore album ‘Time and Memory’.

The album displays both their missives on patriarchy, toxic masculinity, contemporary Australian issues and deeply personal reflections on love and death. Drawing from varied references and their own well of experiences, the album aims to draw people in through directness and unity.

“Working with Dave (Parkin) again was an absolute no-brainer, as he is a wizard who completely understood what we were trying to achieve, gently pushing the boat out further. We wanted to work with Sarah (Register) after her spellbinding meld with Protomartyr blew us away and figured we had found a kindred spirit - this proved to be the case.

This record really reflects our core values, what we hold dear, a grabbag of missives, forlorn birdsongs and rubbery memory - but it's also hopeful, defiant and hopefully worthwhile. When everything's all at once, you owe it to yourself to try - we feel like we have and we hope you do too.”

The last few years saw the band release their debut album ‘A Handful Of Ash’ (under their previous name Rag n’ Bone), which landed them in Triple J Unearthed’s top 50 most played artists for 2017, and rang in at #5 in the West Australian’s Top 10 Albums of the Year. They also played festivals such as Falls Festival, SOTA, Baybeats (Singapore) and Concrete & Grass (China), and shows with Stiff Little Fingers, Future Of The Left, Amyl & The Sniffers, WAAX, Jen Cloher and Ecca Vandal, to name a few."
