SLOW TURISMO release new single "You Were Dead"

After twelve months of sold-out hometown shows and recording, Canberra quartet Slow Turismo return with a new slice of innovative indie rock for the introspective.

The Benjamin Woolner (SAFIA)-produced 'You Were Dead',  will also see the band embark on a tri-state single launch tour.

Measured, syncopated and swaggering in the vein of Alt-J's more suggestive works, 'You Were Dead' oozes easy groove and credits its unique tone to a hybridised approach to recording. With Woolner acting as a "brilliant soundboard" for Slow Turismo, the track was recorded to both analogue tape and using digital audio methods, allowing the band to cherry-pick the best elements from both approaches; experimenting with synths and amps long into the quiet hours of the morning.

Slow Turismo's previous singles 'Falter', 'I Sit Down As Soon As I Get Up' and 'Breathe' have all received triple j airplay, with Home & Hosed's Dom Alessio and Double J's Dorothy Markek both singing the band's praises. With a live show meticulously sharpened via sold out hometown shows over the past year, polished to a gleam via support slots with Holy Holy, Client Liaison, Saskwatch and SAFIA, this is a band poised for a spectacular return to form - with more than a few new tricks up their sleeves.
