Lush Life

Label: Third Man Records 
Release Date: 18th October

The Bel Air Lips are the kind of band that if you won't ever find yourself just 'kinda enjoying', their fizzy and energetic indie has a giddying nostalgia of something close to an Irish folk music but absolutely isn't, it has that raw party spirit and a togetherness mixed with the feeling of a never-ending youthful summer. 

Third Man Records are proud to announce the worldwide signing of Australian four-piece The Belair Lip Bombs and to reissue (excluding AUS/NZ) their 2023 breakthrough album, Lush Life. The debut from the Naarm/Melbourne indie group, arrived as ten tracks of evocative exploration; stories that run a gamut of longing, seeking new horizons and discovering new paths to satisfaction and self-fulfilment.

The record captures widescreen indie songwriting, helmed by Maisie Everett (guitar, keys, vox) and fleshed out by a talented trio of musicians in Mike Bradvica (guitars), Liam De Bruin (drums) and Jimmy Droughton (bass). Featuring previous singles "Stay Or Go", "Gimme Gimme” and "Say My Name", Lush Life is a perfect album for first-time listeners to immerse themselves in, and signals the arrival of The Belair Lip Bombs.

The album was recorded between Naarm/Melbourne spaces Head Gap and Singing Bird studios, and saw The Belair Lip Bombs work with engineer Nao Anzai (Floodlights, Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever) on mixing and mastering.
