Foot Announce New Album You Are Weightless Out June 10
It was a chaotic time, so if you didn’t hear Foot’s 2020 third album, The Balance of Nature Shifted (review here), ain’t nobody gonna yell at you. Actually, nobody would yell at you even if there wasn’t a plague. It’s cool. Build bridges don’t keep gates. If this is your first time hearing this particular Melbourne-based psych-and-grunge-inflected heavy rock and roll band — mostly the solo-project of songwriter/multi-instrumentalist/vocalist Paul Holden, but he’s keeping company as well as covering Yeah Yeah Yeahs, as you can see below — then that’s awesome too. You’ll find the melody of lead single “I’ll Be Just Fine” and the song’s kick into a second-half push to the finish no less engaging for that.
And after you check out the song and mark your calendar for the June 10 release of Foot‘s fourth LP, You Are Weightless (very much the opposite these days, but thanks), through Copper Feast Records — perhaps even placed a preorder — maybe you’ll be encouraged to dig back into the last album, which I’ve also included the stream of here, because it’s killer and bridges, not gates.

Australian Desert Rockers FOOT Step Into the Void with Album #4 | Stream New Single ‘I’LL BE JUST FINE’
You Are Weightless will be released worldwide on 10th June via Copper Feast Records
For fans and followers firmly in the know, FOOT – the venerable and utterly spellbinding Melbourne-based stoner rock quartet – are back with their eagerly awaited fourth album; You Are Weightless, on Copper Feast Records.
Helmed by guitarist, vocalist and creative constant, Paul Holden, and backed by an ever-changing cast of close confidants, Foot has proven themselves time and time again to be an integral part of the burgeoning Oz psych/stoner rock scene, since the release of their debut in 2016.
Following on from their 2020 lockdown masterpiece, The Balance of Nature Shifted, the band return this June with the sonic equivalent of a heavily wrought, fuzz-lined straitjacket in new album, You Are Weightless. Channelling the dynamic spirit of acts like Queens of the Stone Age and Alice in Chains, they envelope their music with social commentary and grand visions that help tip the scales in favour of the heavier, more visceral cradle of rock ‘n’ roll. It’s a sight and sound to behold and make no mistake, Holden, along with his band of merry sessioners, have crafted their boldest and most revelatory album to date.
Teaming up once again with the Sydney-based Foot-Appreciation Society, Copper Feast Records, You Are Weightless will receive an official worldwide release on 10th June 2022 and can be pre-ordered HERE: https://copperfeastrecords.bandcamp.com/album/you-are-weightless
