Combining smokin’ brand-new originals with classic songs from across Kim Salmon’s career in the Scientists and Beasts of Bourbon and beyond – like “Swampland”, “Frantic Romantic”, “Last Night” and “Drop Out” – Smoked Salmon is the new main game from one of Australia’s most revered underground musicians.
SMOKED SALMON, the latest project – and new main game – for the Scientists/Beasts of Bourbon/Beasts co-founder and internationally revered avant-garde art rocker Kim Salmon, today release their long-awaited self-titled debut album through Cheersquad Records & Tapes. Next week they begin an extensive national tour.
The album was preceded by three singles: “How did They Ever Manage” which debuted at #1 on the AIR singles chart in September; “Hell in a Handbasket” which debuted at #2 on the AIR singles chart in December, and most recently “Hey Hey Narcissus” which saw band member Claire Birchall taking over lead vocals.
With Smoked Salmon finally out, Smoked Salmon will undertake a national tour, starting next week. As per dates below, the tour will take in Perth, Freo, Margaret River, Castlemaine, Canberra, Wollongong, Sydney, Newcastle, Geelong, Brisbane, Gold coast, Bangalow and Adelaide before coming back to Melbourne and then finishing in May in Hobart.
Smoked Salmon is available now on limited edition gold 12″ vinyl (100 only), black 12″ vinyl and digitally. It is available in all good record stores and from:
