"Psych-pop constructed with a painterly touch, Babe Rainbow seem to thrive on feeling, unhooking themselves from logical realms and embarking on lengthy journeys across turbulent inner oceans." - Clash Magazine

 

“[The new track] stays true to the Byron outfit’s signature, psychedelic sound, marrying hazy, sun-drenched guitars with hints of ’60s surf rock.” - NME

 

September 30th, 2022 – It is with great excitement that Australian hippie-rock giants Babe Rainbow announce the release of their fifth album, The Organic Band, on October 14th. The announcement comes as their future-psyche jam single "All The Power" is released today to mark the first US tour performance at California's Desert Daze festival.

 

As Byron Bay's surf mecca and beaches are located behind fertile blue hills covered in permaculture gardens, The Organic Band embraces health and wellness. With longtime studio collaborators Wayne Connolly and Michael Medlycott, the album was recorded at the Music Farm.

 

About the new album, the band says:

 

"A savvy gardener times their tasks according to the moon's position. The beginnings of songs were written like tilling the soil ~ according to our creative ebb and flow. After that, we sweeten the chords with melodies, just as lime sweetens soil. Songs evolve as seedlings grow"

 

STREAM “ALL THE POWER” 

 

The Organic Band is the fruit of Babe Rainbow's multi-year labor during the COVID crisis and massive flooding in the band's hometown. The latest single "All The Power" is no exception, arguably being the band's cream of the crop. Considering pumpkins are the glory vegetables in gardens, "All The Power" represents The Organic Band's pumpkin. Jono Ma of Jagwar Ma and Masanobu Fukuoka of the band brought some cosmic compost and sonic microbes for this release as well as the prior single "Inner Space".
