Even fewer bands are like The Church. Experiencing a renaissance of sorts with their worldwide critically-hailed 26th album The Hypnogogue and its companion 27th album (that also serves as a worthy standalone) Eros Zeta and the Perfumed Guitars\, The Church has witnessed their continued impact to astonishingly grow exponentially in audience size and media attention through not only their new albums but a world tour that took them through North America\, the UK\, Europe and back home to Australia. Coupled with the 2024 vinyl re-issues of their first four albums –\; Of Skins & Heart\, The Blurred Crusade\, Séance\, and Heyday –\; their most recent Australian tour was one of their most successful tours to date. The band also launched an exclusive fan community via a partnership with The Chorus\, aptly named nightfriends. It is a first for this storied band –\; an online experience where fans can receive first dibs on concert and new release presales\, have access to unreleased songs/demos/live cuts\, never-before-seen live show video content and concert films\, behind-the-music essays about the creation of pivotal albums\, exclusive band Q&As and Forum interactions\, and much more.
