Artist Biography
Australian indie pop group the John Steel Singers formed in 2007 in Brisbane. Naming themselves after a toy horse guitarist Tim Morrissey owned as a child, the group, which also consisted of Scott Bromiley, Luke McDonald, Ross Chandler, and Pete Bernoth, released a self-titled EP in 2007, followed in 2008 by a mini-LP called The Beagle & the Dove. A competent group of multi-instrumentalists and vocalists, their sound mixes clever indie pop with elements of subtle psychedelia and a distinct Krautrock influence. They signed with Dew Process Records for their debut album, 2010's Tangalooma. Released in 2013 on British indie Full Time Hobby, Everything's a Thread further explored the group's Krautrock tendencies while dialing in on a tight, summery pop sound. ~ Timothy Monger
