New music from The Presets

The Presets have announced their long-awaited return with a new album, titled Pacifica, to be released on September 14 via Modular Recordings.

Featuring ten prismatic, synth-laced songs, Pacifica is being sold as bold new musical territory for the duo.

The album was produced by the band – Julian Hamilton and Kim Moyes – and mixed in Los Angeles with Tony Hoffer.

It’s been over four years since The Presets released sophomore album Apocalypso, which spawned five hit singles and exceeded Triple Platinum sales. My People stayed in the ARIA charts for over 75 weeks, making it the longest charting Australian single in ARIA chart history.

The Presets took out six ARIA and ARIA artisan awards (including Album of The Year – the first electronic band to do so, Best Group, and Best Dance Release) at the 2008 ARIA Awards, and Apocalypso also received Triple J’s ‘J Award’ for Album of The Year.

The following year The Presets were awarded Songwriters of The Year at the APRA Awards and again Best Dance release at the ARIAs that year for Talk Like That. Their last national tour saw them play to over 70,000 people, including three consecutive Hordern Pavilions in Sydney and three Festival Halls in Melbourne.

The Presets are confirmed to appear at Parklife 2012.
