Tasmania (album)

Tasmania has been called a "sister album" to the band's previous record, 2017's The Weather. It was recorded in Fremantle, Western Australia. ==Singles==

"Burnt Out Star" and "Sixteen Days" were released in 2018 as the first two singles from the album prior to its announcement, released on 23 July and 5 October respectively. The third and lead single, "Daisy", released on 10 January 2019 to accompany the album's announcement, was noted for featuring "seductive changeups and dance-worthy delivery" by Paste magazine. A promo video for the title track, "Tasmania", was released to YouTube on 1 March 2019 to coincide with the album's release. Music videos for "The Boys Are Killing Me" and "Hand Mouth Dancer" were also uploaded to YouTube later in the year. ==Critical reception==

Tasmania received generally positive reviews from critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 77, based on fourteen reviews. Mark Deming gave a positive review for AllMusic, claiming " the music is effective and satisfying regardless of the level of quirkiness (they have a consistently strong talent for cutting a potent groove), and they make their eccentricities work in their favor rather than just boosting their "interesting" quotient." ==Track listing==
