Good Mood

One of Australia’s most loved bands Ball Park Music have a special treat for fans today - a bit of a show and tell, if you will. All five members of the band are supremely excited to announce the title, release date and cover image for their highly anticipated new album. Ball Park Music’s new long player GOOD MOOD will be released on February 23, 2018 via Stop Start. GOOD MOOD is the follow up to the band’s critically acclaimed and chart topping (ARIA # 3) album Every Night The Same Dream from 2016. The album was recorded in Ball Park Music’s hometown of Brisbane, self produced by the band and mixed by ARIA award winning producer Paul McKercher. The striking cover art seems to complement GOOD MOOD’s title perfectly. Front man Sam Cromack explains further… “I basically got obsessed with images of horses rearing. It’s such a powerful look. We thought it’d make for an amazing cover. We had the idea to shoot it out the front of our studio. It’s such an industrial shit-hole and we knew it would look wild. The whole concept just seemed so ridiculous. It went hand-in-hand with the album title and I knew in my heart it would be excellent if we could pull it off. We finally met our rider, Mindy. She was amazing to work with. Such a horse-whispering rebel. She came in with her horse Teddy and they absolutely nailed it. I was so proud of Dean for shooting that photograph too. The whole experience was a dream.” The album is preceded by the ridiculously catchy and uplifting first single ‘Exactly How You Are’ - which boasts an equally delightful video. Ball Park Music will also be making a triumphant return to the national stage in February to celebrate the release of their new single and album. Supported by triple j, the ‘Exactly How You Are tour’ will take in dates across Australia with special guests Ali Barter and Hatchie. Tickets have been selling very quickly, proving once again what an in-demand live act Ball Park Music are. So much so that in their hometown of Brisbane, the Tivoli has sold out and a second show on February 25 will go on sale this Friday 24 November.
