You know Bleak Squad. Just not like this.

Bleak Squad are a new Melbourne four-piece comprised of Australian art-rock royalty – co-authors of some of the most critically-acclaimed antipodean music of the last 40 years.

Featuring Mick Turner (Dirty Three, Mess Esque), Mick Harvey (Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, The Saints ’73-’78, The Birthday Party), Adalita (Magic Dirt) and Marty Brown (Art of Fighting), “supergroup” is an embarrassing word. “Supernatural” might be more apt.

“I think the name Bleak Squad speaks to both this loose collection of misfits and the noirish mood of our music,” says Adalita of the concoction. “It’s a bit goth-blues, but also has a dreamlike, velvety feel. We’re not here to soothe. We’re here to haunt.”
