WIREHEADS - Potentially Venus LP

Limited edition translucent orange colour vinyl. Black wax also available.

Highly recommended.

Wireheads have been responsible for some of our favourite Australian releases of the past 7 years and Potentially Venus is another fine addition. This lo-fi underground jangle will definitely be in consideration for our Australian Album of the Year.

After a few attempts to reconvene at studios in different parts of the country, Wireheads found themselves at the totally-analog Sound Recordings studio in Feb 2022 to record the new album with recording engineer and studio-owner Alex Bennett in Castlemaine, Victoria. The band skipped on a producer this time - having recorded previous critically acclaimed albums Lightning Ears and Big Issues with producer Calvin Johnson of Beat Happening - however the end results of Potentially Venus are the most refined, inspired and sonically profound Wireheads to date.

“There’s a lot to love about Adelaide’s Wireheads, a band that can dart between post-punk with a roaring ferocity and a jangly minimalism, sauntering from pop splendor to punk sheen in a blink.” - Post Trash

“Sprawling and rangy, Wireheads waste no time in setting the cadence and holding fast to their dusty march throughout a twangy, ornery post-punk setting.” - NPR

“By the time singer Dom Trimboli drops to the dusty earth to breakdance in the video for Arrive Alive, it’s already happened: I want to be in the band.” - The Guardian

“One of the great things about Wireheads is that they’ve always seemed like one big friendly Adelaide gang.” - Noisey

“The RSTB faves sling their discordant noise-punk with the best of ‘em, and each new record begs a bigger bump from the volume knob.” - Raven Sings The Blues
