Melbourne-based post-punk thrillers Radio Free Alice are back in the country with big news after a whirlwind tour of the UK and Europe.

Mixed by Ewan Pearson (Warpaint, M83, Joy Division) and mastered by Mikey Young (Eddy Current), Polyester retains the gritty live feel of the band’s on-stage energy with a touch of studio sheen.
