Funeral Tango’s debut album, Influencer, (Feb 12 2021) is an understated homage to the Manchester post-punk scene of the late 70s, and to the collaborations between Iggy Pop and David Bowie. Influencer is a bracing, magnificent soundtrack crafted for strange times within surreal landscapes, and was completed in Funeral Tango’s hometown Sydney. Funeral Tango make a shadowy and alluring noise, which is the particular and refined result of experienced and motivated hands. Their sound has been honed via a series of arresting live performances (as Holiday Inn) in Sydney’s inner west. Leading up to the release of Influencer, we’ve heard the hypnotic and sparse first single, Donnie, the driving post punk anthem No Reprisal, as well as Jeebus and Pierina. Both No Reprisal and Pierina featured music videos. The Funeral Tango sound is a mix of the concentrated and the atmospheric, capturing the push and pull of a singular band with drive and destination in mind.
