Photo Credit: Jordan Drysdale “..one of the most essential and urgent pop acts in contemporary Australian music.” - MUSIC JUNKEE “Children Collide erupts into a mountainous riff-laden fuzzy psychedelic trip laced with a wild caterwauling guitars and an air of barely contained excess and chaos. An utterly satisfying thumpingly cathartic ride with a sudden stop that leaves your senses reeling.” BACKSEAT MAFIA The time is now. Nine years in the making, today, Children Collide releases their fourth studio album Time Itself via Spinning Top Records. Expect a complex and provocative rock record that explores wider spectrums and multitudes with the kind of fearlessness that put Children Collide on the map to begin with. The LP arrives with the propulsive new track “Turrets,” alongside a visual accompaniment.  Turrets detonates with raw power, frenetic urgency and conveys the relentless energy from the Australian three-piece. Directed by Lord Fascinator and filmed by Nico White and Dave Meagher, the psychedelic official video for “Turrets” is the final in a trilogy made in the absence of touring.  “Turrets was first pulled together in a jam with Heath and Ryan at Pink Floyd’s old studio Brit Row with producer Youth during our first attempt at our second album Theory of Everything. Our label and management at the time convinced us to scrap it much to my chagrin. After the jam I sat upstairs and wrote some of my favourite lyrics but I’m not sure I could tell you what the fuck I’m on about as a whole. It’s just 20 mini stream-of-consciousness philosophies like ‘Sailing down the river Nihilism’ and ‘Turrets are where it’s at.’ Sometimes the meaning comes later I guess,” says frontman Johnny Mackay of the track.

WATCH THE VIDEO HERE Recorded by Loren Humphrey at Diamond Mine & Stockholm Syndrome in New York City, Time Itself, Children Collide’s long-awaited fourth studio album will land on Friday, August 27. Expect a complex and provocative rock record that explores wider spectrums and multitudes with the kind of fearlessness that put Children Collide on the map to begin with. The LP features the post-punk lead single “Aurora,” the propulsive “Funeral For A Ghost,” the twirling, acid-tinged “Trampoline” and all of the unmistakable trademarks of Children Collide. Time Itself is available for pre-order in digital formats as well as limited edition white 12” vinyl here. Versatility and musical freedom has always served as the band's modus operandi. It's why Mackay loved playing with them in the first place, and why he eventually wound up under the moniker again. “Children Collide albums always feel like 12 points of a clock or a compass,” he says. “More an entire 360 degree entity than a single story. Exploration in all directions.” With their rocketship packed and a new line-up locked in, the voyage of Children Collide is ready to launch.
