"Babe Rainbow execute unique, entrancing sounds through mesmerizing guitar riffs, space-like synth beats and hypnotizing vocal tracking" - Atwood Magazine
"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


September 22nd, 2023 - Babe Rainbow, the Aussie indie psych pop-rock favorites and perpetual waveriders, have released their new EP Mushroom. A new natural medicine for a good mood, the band's latest EP follows lead single "Juice Of The Sun".

"In addition to recording these songs at our neighbor and producer Chris Collins' dojo, we actually wrote them quickly, which was a fun experience." The members of Babe Rainbow describe the recording process as "just following the flow of wherever the songs wanted to go naturally and Chris was great at tapping into that and keeping the vibe alive."

As a follow up to the band's Fresh As A Head Of Lettuce EP released earlier this year, Mushroom aims to further the soul in their fans' rock and roll.The EP’s lead single "Juice Of The Sun" provides listeners with an abundance of vitamin C, and ensures the psychedelic vibes remain at their peak.

BABE RAINBOW BIO

Known for their boogie psychedelia and throwback surf cult imagery, Babe Rainbow are an Australian "stoner pop" band. 

The group was formed in 2015 by Jack Crowther (aka Cool Breez), Angus Dowling, and Elliot O'Reilly, who lurked at the kiosks around Rainbow Bay. The three of them worked for John Cutts, a local grower near Tropical Fruit World in Duranbah, NSW. The guys at John's farm were churning out kale long before it became trendy.  

While Babe Rainbow's musical style was originally rooted in 60's psych and 70's French surf-pop, it has evolved throughout its career to incorporate woodland bop and folk disco, dub, dance, and international grooves while maintaining an Aquarian quality through Dowling's musical spacemen singing style and Cool Breez's chiming guitar sounds. 

Their first release, The Babe Rainbow EP, was recorded at an office space in Murwillumbah, with support from national broadcaster triple j as well as King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard label Flightless Records. In 2017, they released their debut album produced by Stu Mackenzie and toured internationally with King GizzardAllah LasTomorrow's Tulips, and French synth wave band La Femme

Having signed with and released their debut album in 2017 with 30th Century on ColumbiaDouble Rainbow (2018) and Today (2019) followed, completing their three-record deal. Babe Rainbow now owns all their masters and future releases through their own label, Eureka! with the help of AWAL Music

Babe Rainbow is powered by hobie swallowtails.

Mushroom, the band’s latest EP, is available now across digital music platforms
