Everyone’s favourite Gold Coast collective, Operator Please, return with their remarkably sophisticated sophomore album ‘Gloves’ on Friday April 23.
The band spent 12 months pouring their heart and soul into a record that was largely self produced at a Byron Bay farm and in Amandah Wilkinson’s Gold Coast lounge room.
Lead singer Amandah says, “The album is the perfect representation for where we are at right now. It has all the experiences and growth from touring, seeing places and discovering the new; encompassed into about 35 minutes of songs.”
The band chose to upload the debut single ‘Logic’ to Myspace two weeks ahead of service: the reaction was incredible, with national radio stations adding the track immediately. Proving to be an instant hit, ‘Logic’ is released digitally on February 16.
Operator Please are offering fans a free MP3 download of ‘Logic’ from their official website www.operatorpleaseband.com until February 15. From here, fans will also have the option of pre-ordering an exclusive version of ‘Gloves’ that includes a cassette mix tape of Operator Please demos, remixes and acoustic tracks.
Bursting onto the music scene in early 2007 with their addictive ‘Song About Ping Pong’, Operator Please went on to release their debut album ‘Yes, Yes Vindictive’ both here in Australia and in the UK. With five official singles released from ‘Yes, Yes Vindictive’ the band toured the world playing sell out festivals throughout Australia and Europe and found themselves working with the likes of Bloc Party and Arctic Monkeys. Fast forward to early 2009, the band began writing new material for ‘Gloves’ and kick things off with ‘Logic’.
