New album »High On The Low Brow« out now!
After a four-year break since »Neanderthal Jam« hit the shelves in 2022, Datura4 are back at it with their sixth record, »High On The Low Brow«, laid down once again in their Fremantle stomping grounds. Steering the ship is Dom Mariani, a true legend of the Australian rock scene, whose work with The Stems and induction into the WA Music Hall of Fame speak volumes.
This new album finds the band doing what they do best: weaving together bluesy rock, infectious boogie, and a swirl of psychedelic vibes. Datura4’s albums have built a devoted following, celebrated for their authentic throwback to an era when Aussie rock was loud, loose and mind bending. Mariani’s guitar licks and knack for memorable melodies tie it all together.
If you’re after music that feels like it was recorded in the thick haze and vibes of the early ’70s – with grooves that dig deep, riffs that burn, and every song is performed with soul – »High On The Low Brow« should be right up your alley.
»High On The Low Brow« is available on limited vinyl, CD and digital formats through Alive Naturalsound Records. Order your copy HERE.
“Laidback but full of colour and cool edges, »Dirty Laundry« combines classic Freddie King blues with woozy, desert-fried psychedelia, early 70s swagger and even a saxophone sojourn. Hooky, heavy, trippy but not too trippy – yeah, we’ll totally take that.” – Classic Rock
“Driven by thick fuzz riffs, pounding grooves, and psychedelic textures, »Getting Through« delivers the heavy retro-inspired sound that has become a hallmark of the band’s music. The track blends gritty hard rock with spacey keyboard flourishes and an infectious groove while exploring themes of unrequited love and respect.” – Blues Rock Review
Australian rock outfit Datura4 is led by Dom Mariani, a West Australian Music Industry Awards Hall of Famer best known for his work with garage legends The Stems. With Datura4, Mariani taps into the hard-edged swagger and sun-baked fuzz of early seventies Australian rock – think the bluesy stomp of Buffalo and the heavy psychedelia of Coloured Balls. Their sound is raw and unapologetic, rooted in the desert heat and wide-open spaces that define Australia’s musical landscape. Datura4’s records have earned cult status for their authentic revival of a distinctly Aussie brand of heavy music, driven by Mariani’s unmistakable guitar tone and knack for melody.
