The Teskey Brothers Half Mile Harvest (LP, Orange Vinyl, Ltd.)

(Decca) 10 tracks, gatefold cover
In 2023 we celebrate the 5th anniversary of the Australian blues-rock group's debut album - named after the two brothers who founded it. With the songs "Crying Shame" and "Shiny Moon". The album is released on orange vinyl for the first time.

After wowing audiences outside their homeland for the first time at SXSW, The Great Escape and Fuji Rock, The Teskey Brothers' debut album 'Half Mile Harvest' is now being re-released on Decca Records and Vertigo, including two new tracks 'I Get Up' and 'Say You'll Do'.

Hailing from the Yarra Valley just outside Melbourne, brothers Josh (vocals) and Sam Teskey (guitar) share their love of 60's American soul music with their neighborhood friends Brendon Love (bass) and Liam Gough (drums). Listeners to the album inevitably feel transported back to Memphis in 1967.

'Half Mile Harvest' was recorded completely analog with an old tape machine and honors the sound of old Stax Records and Motown records. Despite the reminiscences of their musical heroes, the band's irresistible groove and Josh Teskey's smoky whiskey voice transform the whole thing into something very unique.

Definitely give it a listen and ... buy it!
