Kingswood - After Hours, Close To Dawn

After Hours, Close To Dawn is the second studio album by Australian rock band Kingswood, released in March 2017 via Dew Process.

Kingswood is an Australian rock band from Melbourne, comprised of members Fergus Linacre (lead vocals), Alex Laska (lead guitar & vocals), and Justin Debrincat (drums & backing vocals).

Kingswood spent the earlier part of 2016 bunkered down recording the follow up to their ARIA #6 and ARIA nominated 2014 debut  album Microscopic Wars at the legendary Sound Emporium in Nashville, USA. Owned by musical legend Johnny Cash's producer Jack Clement, the studio has recorded hit albums from some of the greats, including Robert Plant, Cyndi Lauper, Alabama Shakes and Pharell.

The new album was produced by English-born and Nashville-based producer Ed Spear, who the band befriended when he engineered their debut album Microscopic Wars.

After Hours, Close To Dawn puts Kingswood on the front line of innovators. It mixes compelling R&B grooves ("Rebel Babe"), sparse, soaring rock & roll ("Library"), garage exotica ("Alabama White"), seductive soul ("Belle"), and space-age sway ("Atmosphere").

It's an eclectic set, but the defining element is the through line of the trio's creative DNA.

No matter what shape they take, these songs still instantly suggest Kingswood. They're a band that looks back to ensure they're moving forward.

This LP record is on white coloured vinyl housed in a gatefold sleeve with printed booklet and digital download code, pressed in Australia.
