After a year of chasing futile dreams on a Russian salmon farm, bluejuice have returned with a new single, a new album, and a modest bag of salmon.
“Broken Leg”, the first single from their upcoming sophomore record is blustering bit of anthemic pop – an uptempo ode to being a limping miseryguts. Never before have 80s-themed existential crises inspired such a need to dance or sing so joyously. Alright, maybe “Jessie’s Girl”...
“Broken Leg” was recorded with Brooklyn, NYC producer Chris Shaw, who’s previously worked with Bob Dylan, Public Enemy, Weezer, Ween and also remixed Paula Abdul. His American accent allowed the band a long-awaited opportunity to pretend they were living in an episode of Full House (the one where John Stamos’ cousin, Stavros, comes to visit), and recording in Sydney finally gave Chris the chance to work 13 hours a day, and then order a burrito in another hemisphere. The result of this beautiful marriage is "Broken Leg" (and some more stuff that you'll need to wait for).
You can listen to the new single on their myspace page right now! No sh*t!
Triple J are playing it too, so feel free to coerce Rosie to play it more over at Super Request.
bluejuice loves you.
