One of Australia's biggest musical acts of the past 15 years, The Presets have finally ended their 4-year sojourn announcing an Australian tour to launch their long awaited fourth studio album 'HI VIZ'.
"We wanted to make something that was literally meant to get you out of your head," explains Julian Hamilton, one-half of The Presets.
"It's taken us ages to make this album because we just kept writing and recording more and more songs," reflects Kim Moyes, the other half of The Presets.
"At one point we had about 50 contenders and, like us, they were all over the map mood-wise. Eventually we decided - f$%^ it - let's just pick the most 'up for it' songs. Those tracks are always the most fun for us to play live anyway, so we thought 'why not have a whole album of them?'."
From Glastonbury and Coachella to Splendour In The Grass, the duo have forged a reputation as Australian electronic music trailblazers. They will continue to build on this reputation with shows in Fremantle, Adelaide, Melbourne, Canberra, Wollongong, Sydney, Brisbane and Gold Coast.
Joining The Presets across all their Australian tour dates will be Roland Tings. The Melbourne producer will be kicking things off each evening with his blistering live set.
