Peabody record new album on Nirvana 8-track

Peabody record new album on Nirvana 8-track

Rascally Sydney rockers Peabody have recorded their fourth album on the 8-track that Nirvana recorded Bleach.

It's a nice little hook but the album, dubbed Loose Manifesto, is sure to have many, many more.

The four-piece recorded it in four days shacked up in Sydney's Ball's Head overlooking ships and an old coal loading dock.

Supposedly espousing the absurdist anti-art themes of Dada, Loose Manifesto will no doubt be as smart, and occasionally smart-arsed, as previous efforts 2008's Prospero, 2005's The New Violence and 2002's Professional Againster.

As a teaser, Peabody have cleared the decks on their myspace for the first single 'Black Narcissus', named for Rumer Godden's novel about colonial India (which was turned into a film in 1947).

It's another ripping rock song, which still retains Peabody's signature riffing inventiveness.

Loose Manifesto will be released on October 1.
