Sneaky Sound System's Second Album May Outshine
First
When Sneaky Sound System emerged on the scene as an independent
group, their fresh and unique sound was almost immediately
picked up on by local DJs and radio stations. When their debut
album went on to peak near the top of the charts and then earn
platinum sales status, it quickly became apparent that this
independent group from Sydney was more than just a fly-by-night
dance group.
In the four years since the group was founded, Sneaky Sound
System has garnered a tremendous amount of success, including
two ARIA Music Awards. Their second album has been much
awaited, with speculation mounting regarding whether the
group's second album would be able to live up to the success of
their debut album.
Now that the appointed time is here, it would seem that Sneaky
Sound System's second album will not only be just as good as
the first, but may just bring Sneaky Sound System international
acclaim and success.
While the group spent a large portion of 2007 on tour, they
headed to their recording studio earlier this year to begin
working on their second album. Although they did occasionally
perform at local clubs, much of their time has been dedicated
to producing a mind-blowing album. Judging by the early release
of some of the album's tracks, it would certainly seem that
their efforts have been well worth it.
Some groups tend to emerge strong, produce an excellent debut
album, and then slowly putter out of notoriety when their
second album fails to live up to the success of their first.
That will not be the case with Sneaky Sound System. In fact,
music insiders are predicting that the group's second album may
be just what is needed to propel the group to even greater
heights.
The appropriately named album, 2, will be available for
purchase in stores in Australia on the 12th of July and in the
UK on the 22nd of September. During the first week of June, the
first single from the forthcoming album debuted at the number
11 spot on the ARIA Club Chart. The same line-up will be used
on the second album that proved to be so successful on the
first album. Miss Connie will provide outstanding vocals while
the unique sounds of Mc Double D and Black Angus will round out
the album. The second album will not only feature new material,
but some of the best material from their hit debut album as
well. "Kansas City" is the first single to be released in
Australia, while "Pictures" is scheduled to be the leading
single in the UK.
While "Pictures" did appear on the debut album, its appearance
on the second album will be decidedly different, as it has been
freshened up by Rich Costey. In support of the album, Sneaky
Sound System will be going on tour beginning in mi-August,
appearing in cities such as Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney.
Fans will be treated to a sound that is richer and
fuller.
