[MUSIC: Interview] Dappled Cities

As I discuss the long career of Dappled Cities with singer/guitarist Dave Rennick, neither of us can hide the astonishment at the fact it’s already been three years since the release of Zounds, a sprawling album that found the band at their most experimental and – at times – dark. There was, of course, their magnificent performance at 2009’s Splendour In The Grass and the subsequent sideshow tour, which saw the Sydney five-piece don lightbulb suits every time they played ‘The Price’ (to say nothing of the gold superhero outfits of Laneway 2010); and then there was another domestic tour that year, and a slot at last year’s Harvest Festival. But after that, things got a little quiet for a large chunk of time – most of which was spent writing the songs that have formed the band’s impossibly-bright new album, Lake Air.
