VERGE COLLECTION’S

debut album

‘FLANEUR’

out now!

The best in the West, Perth’s suburban sonic scally wags, Verge Collection release highly anticipated debut album Flaneur today.

A quick Internet search of Flaneur finds a literal translation to ‘a man who saunters around observing society’. Fitting then, that Vergies debut is a clutch of ten quick witted, wry and astute musical observations of modern Aussie life. Flanuer showcases the casual complexity of front man Ben Arnold’s lyricism and couples it with the band’s classic indie-rock instrumentation, reminiscent of Australian Crawl or a slightly more brash Crowded House.

Vergies first tastes of their debut full length has won favour with fans and critics alike with single ‘For The Story’ welcoming a sold out tour in 2017. Triple j support for the record has been coming thick and fast, too with singles ‘Feelin’ Old’ and ‘So Vain’ receiving a triple j spot add and rinsing on Unearthed, respectively.

April will see Verge Collection’s biggest national tour to date, kicking off with a hometown show at Jack Rabbit Slims. Well acquainted with a live setting, the boys have shared a stage with Skeggs, The Wombats, Tiny Little Houses, Good Boy and Stonefield in recent times, earning their stripes as true blue homegrown party starters. Their last tour sold out as fast as old mate from next door could knock back a tinnie on a warm summer’s day, so fans are encouraged to jump on tickets or risk missing out.

Flaneur is OUT NOW via Rhubarb Records and tickets to their upcoming tour can be purchased from the website https://www.vergecollectionband.com

“Songs so relatable you have to check you haven’t just accidentally pocket dialled your mate.” Lachie Macara, triple j

“…

[Feelin’ Old] might induce existential crises in those moving up an age bracket in 2018 but it’s worth it for the earworm-y hooks, charging percussion and vocalist Ben Arnold’s impassioned drawl.”  TheMusic.com.au

“Usually it takes me a few listens to fall hard for a song. But this, this was a love at first sight/listen situation.” Celline Narinli, triple j
