Welcome to Love Boredom Bicycles, the party that is the exuberant debut album from the endearing and revered New-Zealand band, Bakers Eddy. A delightful melding of boisterous and unhindered youthful energy, Love Boredom Bicycles is an unabashed and idiosyncratic expression of prevalence in the ‘coming of age’ journey, as the band explore the tension between the terror of self-discovery and resounding hope in their trademark humorous tone. And this party is set to soon tour the nation! Catch the loveably shambolic Bakers Eddy as they embark upon their most extensive tour yet through June – July, playing 25-dates to fans across both capital cities & regionally.
“Honestly it feels like such a relief to be finally putting this record out. Not only because of COVID pushing the release back, but ever since we were little kids we talked about how cool it would be to one day have an entire album that was our own, that we made ourselves without compromise, and to actually see and touch it is an emotional thing, especially after the fuck around we’ve copped over the last two years”.
With its infectiously energetic pace, racing chords and youthful vigour, Love Boredom Bicycles is bursting with irresistible nostalgia! Alongside producer Oscar Dawson (HOLY HOLY), Bakers Eddy have masterfully captured the authentic spirit of the demos they’d made themselves during lockdown in their share house studio, constructing an album with good times coursing through its veins.
