“Accidental Euphoria” is a thirteen-track riot of hooks and energy. A record that shares a taste for the synthpop extravagance of OMD, New Order and Soft Cell with its predecessor “Instant Transmissions”, but which leans heavily into the band’s love for the noisy alternative rock of bands like Smashing Pumpkins, Idlewild, Nirvana and Trail of Dead.

It’s a record that finds the group - vocalist Gary Moore, guitarist and long-time collaborator Michael J. McFarlane, synth guru Lewis Bage, and the worlds hardest rhythm section - bassist Heather McKay and drummer Hannah McKay - in a much more “natural” place.

A ton of shows and adventures - including a 2022 European arena tour with goth icons Placebo - has led to the band blossoming into a fully-fledged outlaw rock n’ roll gang. Something that they wanted to follow through into their new record.
