The Naarm-based band&#8217;s second album, <em>Decent Shapes<\/em>, is rooted in the band members&#8217; experiences living in an affluent country in a time of rampant, alienating neoliberalism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>screensaver will take <em>Decent Shapes <\/em>on tour throughout November, playing shows in Canberra, Port Kembla, Sydney, Ballarat, Castlemaine, Nambour, Brisbane, Eudlo, Warrnambool and Adelaide.

The repetition of a life spent working underpins a lot of our lyrical themes. The act of making music is in big part a remedy to the monotony of full time jobs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tama Swingstar Drums<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Chris:<\/strong> An absolute tank of a thing James scored just before tracking. The record\u2019s sonic foundation with a sweet, sweet mirror finish on the kick drum resonator head. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The FUNK.COM Van <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Chris:<\/strong> We had the opportunity to hit the road in the states for a couple weeks before completely finishing the record, which gave us a chance to really get to know the songs in a live setting and make some adjustments when we got back. The van was borrowed from a generous friend\u2019s band. They\u2019d got it second hand from some real estate company that had FUNK.COM emblazoned in very large lettering on the sides and across the roof. Very comical vehicle to show up to gigs in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Buttonpusher <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Chris:<\/strong> The spot in Preston we did the majority of tracking with the fine wooden walls. Julian Cue did a great job situating his mobile rig in the space and also providing his home studio for overdubs and mixdown glory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bag of Coins <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Chris:<\/strong> Though it didn\u2019t make it onto the record, our original bassist Giles contributed greatly to the sound of the band as well as the LP. There was a memorable moment at the end of a tracking day where we mic\u2019d up a large bag of change Giles was holding and then shaking with delirious enthusiasm. In the age of software with infinite track capability, it\u2019s good to be unafraid to try anything that comes to mind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2018Assassin with Son\u2019 from Shogun Assassin <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Chris:<\/strong> The bassline here is the inspiration for what ended up on \u2018Signals.\u2019 It\u2019s one of those pieces of music that\u2019s stuck with me since I saw the film years ago. A rolling bass line in a minor key always delivers a great mood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><strong><em>screensaver&#8217;s new album <\/em>Decent Shapes <em>is out now via Poison City Records &amp; Upset the Rhythm<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"--aspect-ratio:1.7777777777778;\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Xloz8QS2Fr8?si=zkNDskfsVyK6MjfW\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">screensaver <em>Decent Shapes <\/em>Tour<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Thursday 2nd November \u2013 Sideway Bar, Canberra ACT<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Friday 3rd November \u2013 The Servo, Port Kembla NSW<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Saturday 4th November \u2013 The Enmore, Sydney NSW<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sunday 5th November \u2013 A secret location, Sydney NSW<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Friday 10th November \u2013 The Eastern, Ballarat VIC<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Saturday 11th November \u2013 The Bridge Hotel, Castlemaine VIC<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Friday 17th November \u2013 Black Box Theatre, Nambour QLD<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Saturday 18th November \u2013 The Bearded Lady, Brisbane QLD<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sunday 19th November \u2013 A secret location, Eudlo QLD<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Friday 24th November \u2013 The Dart and Marlin, Warrnambool VIC<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Saturday 25th November \u2013 The Metro, Adelaide SA<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Tickets on sale <a href=\"https:\/\/linktr.ee\/screensavermusic\">now<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-further-reading\">Further Reading<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/musicfeeds.com.au\/news\/premiere-screensaver-drainer\/\">screensaver Seek Relief from Energy Vampires on New Single \u2018Drainer\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/musicfeeds.com.au\/news\/melbourne-post-punks-screensaver-release-new-single-the-guilt-announce-new-album\/\">Melbourne Post-Punks screensaver Release New Single&nbsp;\u2018The Guilt\u2019, Announce New Album<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/musicfeeds.com.au\/features\/efficient-spaces-michael-kucyk-on-the-independent-music-exchange-were-doing-things-for-the-sake-of-music\/\">Efficient Space\u2019s Michael Kucyk on the Independent Music Exchange \u2013 \u201cWe\u2019re Doing Things for the Sake of Music\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>screensaver make muscular and rhythmic synth-punk in the mould of Siouxsie &amp; the Banshees and The Cure.
