Sydney four-piece Black Springs release their debut LP, 'When We We Were Great' on March 22 and it's a moody effort. The playfulness of singles ‘Boys In Blue’ and ‘Slinky Day’ make way for more fragile yet equally catchy moments throughout, with a healthy dose of the band’s trademark wig-outs thrown in for good measure. Their unashamed pop sensibilities and noisy guitars hint at the likes of Teenage Fanclub, whilst their obvious unease with the banalities of everyday life positions them alongside homeland contemporaries such as the Ocean Party and Dick Diver. The album was recorded by the band themselves, mixed by Caleb Jacobs (aka Plum) and mastered by Mikey Young (Eddy Current Suppression Ring, Total Control).
