DESCRIPTION
Brand new & sealed. 

Ball Park Music will release their third album, "Puddinghead" via Stop Start and Inertia. This new record is the follow up to their 2012 sophomore release, "Museum".

Unlike the band's first two albums, which were penned and recorded in between a relentless touring schedule, 2013 provided the first opportunity for the band to write and record in a controlled environment. The result is 'Puddinghead', the band's third album in 24 months, and without doubt their most accomplished to date.

They say the word "puddinghead" is a Shakespearean insult offered to "someone who manages to mess up even the most basic tasks"

Determined to leave their own print, Ball Park Music opted to self-produce and take the recording of 'Puddinghead' into their own hands. Renting a dirt-cheap property in the northern suburbs of Brisbane, they endured the overwhelming heat of their 70s fibro shack, scooped the mud from the doorway, smashed in the broken door, cleaned away the rotten food and insects and recorded to the sweet backdrop of leaky taps, magpies and main roads. It was far from the comforts of a professional recording studio, but somehow it worked.

The first taste of the band's new material is the lead single "She Only Loves Me When I'm There". It's also the opening track on the record and sets the tone for an album that celebrates their underdog leanings and rejoices in the love, loss and banalities of suburban Australian life. The track and album was mixed by Grammy nominated Tony Hoffer (Beck, The Kooks, Phoenix, Air, and M83)
