Party Dozen share new single ‘Macca The Mutt’, featuring Nick Cave

The noise rock duo's new album 'The Real Work' arrives in July

Australian noise-rock duo Party Dozen have shared ‘Macca The Mutt’, a new song from the band’s forthcoming third album ‘The Real Work’ that features guest vocals from Nick Cave.

The song begins with waves of distorted guitar chords and Kirsty Tickle’s heavily manipulated vocals, before giving way to Jonathan Boulet’s propulsive drumming and wailing saxophone from Tickle.

Marking the first time another artist has featured on a Party Dozen track, Cave joins in the song’s last minute, delivering its repeated refrain – “I got a mutt, I got a mutt, I got a mutt / Got a mutt, got a mutt called Macca” – with his distinctive vocals.

It’s scheduled to arrive on July 8 via New York label Temporary Residence outside of Australia and New Zealand, where it will be released by Boulet’s own label, Grupo.
