about

Written, performed, recorded and mixed by Gareth Parton at home and at Los Bomberos studios, Melbourne. Mastered by Joe Carra at Crystal Mastering. Artwork by Jennifer Lea.

Following a string of captivating singles, Hot Coppers now announce their debut self-titled album, to be released by Lost And Lonesome on June 2, 2023.

Hot Coppers is the solo studio project of music producer Gareth Parton (Foals, The Go! Team, The Breeders) with a live band that features luminaries from The Lucksmiths, Mid-State Orange, Monnone Alone, The Zebras, Amarillo and Clan Analogue.

Having rediscovered his flair for songwriting during the pandemic (following a brief twenty-odd-year hiatus), Gareth Parton's deft hand at concise, articulate pop hookery (read: B&S, Go-B's, YLT, etc) is on full display here.

With a penchant for wordplay that disassembles the finer points of failed ambition and love gone wrong, Hot Coppers serve up woebegone indie pop at its finest.

The album's debut single 'Sunflower Seeds', released a year or so back, was a golden splash of sunshine pop which, as Gareth himself put it, "attempts to capture the excitement and unknown of a new relationship – will it grow into something special... or die cos you’re shit at ‘gardening’?"

‘Molecule’ is classic indie floor-shaker material complete with earworm guitar hook and bedsit shy-boy vocals lamenting, of course, the one that got away.

Of latest single 'Running Mate', Parton says "around the time I was writing this one, I did one of those pseudo-scientific personality tests and it said I was a "Campaigner" – no idea what that means but it got me on the campaign trail".
