South African icons drop new album ‘Hard Mode’ ➤ https://orcd.co/-hard-mode (stream link in bio).

Fronted as a pre-World War 3 soundtrack ‘Hard Mode’ is a vivid collection that unveils a compelling, high-water mark for the band. Opener ‘My Name Is Freedom’ is a raucous, uninhibited sonic exploration that finds the band fighting for their little piece of the universe. Elsewhere the pitfalls of lust ('Miss Demeanour'), desire ('Avalon'), and young love ('Deadly') are rigorously vaunted. Further highlights include the devastatingly funky ‘Hip’ and dreamy alt-rock cuts ‘Pretty Things’ and ‘Overground (Subway Queen)’.
