Much-loved chamber-pop/folk-noir Australian group My Friend The Chocolate bring their 8th studio album 'The Revival Meeting'. The band's final show for 2017! The new album has been described as “an album unlike any other, combining genres, images, instruments and lyrics not found in much of today’s music. This is not a throwback, or retro album. Sure their influences dip into folk, maybe even classical. But it is their own sound? This album is a work of art, and one that makes me reach back into their catalog, but for my ears, this is their best and their most accomplished album to date. (**** Spill Magazine)."
The song writing genius of David Bridie combined with the glorious strings of Helen Mountfort’s cello and Hope Csutoros’ violin are high in the curious collision of elements that have made My Friend The Chocolate Cake a big concert draw, triple ARIA winners and a vivid presence on countless film and TV soundtracks for more than two and a half decades. Their album history is a multi-dimensional mural of modern Australia that illustrates its geography, its political mores and its predominantly suburban identity, all by the kind of stealth that makes the most haunting, exhilarating and enduring pop music.
