Strange Talk

"Climbing Walls" is the lead single from Australian, Alternative band, Strange Talk. This four-piece group will be releasing their self-produced Wind-Up Records debut album, Cast Away later this year. All songs were mixed by Tony Hoffer (M83, Phoenix) with the exception of "Climbing Walls," "Eskimo Boy" and "Is It Real?" which were mixed by Eliot James (Bloc Party, Two Door Cinema Club). Rolling Stone (Australia) recently gave Cast Away a four out of five star review calling it "Equal parts Cut Copy and Daft Punk with pinches of '80s pop, Strange Talk's album is a fizzy cocktail of synths, breathy vocals and tinny drums."

Formed in February 2010, Strange Talk band members include Gerard Sidhu, Stephen Docker, Travis Constable and Gillan Gregory. The buzz has been building since the release of their self-titled 2011 EP (Wind-Up Records released an updated version of this EP June 4th 2013). They reached the #1 spot on Billboard's Uncharted chart with "Climbing Walls" in the United States. The music video for that song was also part of a hugely successful Cheer laundry detergent campaign.

Strange Talk have played such festivals as Parklife, Stereosonic, Future Music, Soundscape and Falls and they have opened for Foster The People, the Rapture, Neon Indian and Marina and The Diamonds and wowed New York City at both 2011 and 2012's CMJ Music Marathon.
