Hoodoo Gurus long-awaited, new studio album Chariot of the Gods, is finally set lose and flying around the world today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chariot of the Gods is the band’s first album in over a decade (the longest interval between Hoodoo Gurus’ albums in their history) and is already garnering rave reviews:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first Hoodoo Gurus album in 12 years starts with a scene-setter called Early Opener. It’s as if the Gurus are sound-checking at your local pub: the drums are pounding, the guitars are cranking, the hooks are huge – Stack Magazine<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First album in 12 years from Australian national treasures \u2026 ‘Chariot of the Gods’ is a delightful recap of the Gurus’ virtues, featuring such effortlessly breezy, riff-heavy tear-ups as “Get Out Of Dodge” and “Equinox”, while “Was I Supposed To Care?” demonstrates that Dave Faulkner retains his facility with a plain-spoken ballad that dates all the way back to the first album’s “My Girl” – Uncut Magazine (UK)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hoodoo Gurus goes on the attack, sword in hand, and slays the competition. \u2026Hoodoo Gurus cheekily defies the challenge of the passing years – Muzzart (France)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The new album features some career bests from a rejuvenated band, with the emphasis on the tunes – Shindig (UK)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chariot of the Gods is classic Gurus – 14 tracks (17 on the deluxe double-vinyl edition) featuring the relatable lyricism and peerless songwriting placed in a distinctively Australian context that the band are renowned for (see below for tracklisting). The album is the first full-length recording with relative new recruit to the Hoodoo Gurus’ line-up, on drums – Nik Reith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The new album is released a little over a month before they kick off their 40th Anniversary Tour with long-time mutual friends, The Dandy Warhols, presented by Frontier Touring. Show openers on the 40th Anniversary Tour will be Even in Adelaide and Melbourne and The Buoys in Sydney.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
