Today, Brisbane trio The Goon Sax have released a deluxe digital edition of their third album Mirror II.

Already more or less perfect, the record returns to us newly refreshed with four unreleased songs, including two album outtakes, a demo of ‘In the Stone,’ and a cover of Len’s 1999 top-ten hit, ‘Steal My Sunshine‘.

The Goon Sax have also hit the road opening for Snail Mail on dates across North America in April/May. The trio return to Australia for Rising Festival in Melbourne on June 2 (plus more Australian dates to be announced soon). Then they rejoin Snail Mail for UK/Europe dates in June, followed by a huge North American tour supporting Spoon and Interpol in August/September.

Since forming in high school, Brisbane band The Goon Sax— the trio of Riley JonesLouis Forster, and James Harrison, best friends who take turns writing, singing, and playing each instrument— have been celebrated for their kinetic homemade pop.

Mirror II is a new beginning: a multi-dimensional eclectic journey of musical craftsmanship that moves from disco to folk to no wave with staggering cohesion. Gone are the first-person insecurities of their school days — they’ve been made more expansive, more universal, and more weird.
