Pure Australian rock glory meets the Sunset Strip on Goodnight My Children! Indomitable Australian rockers The Neptune Power Federation return with their sixth album, Goodnight My Children, a collection of feverish nighttime stories set to uproarious pure rock with a pop twist!
Love songs were on the mind of Australian psychedelic rock and roll brigade The Neptune Power Federation for their 2021 full-length, Le Demon De L'Amour. The album was the raucous re-imagination of a bygone era filtered through the lens of a band unafraid to blur genres.
Fast-forward three years, and now, children's stories are on the brain for The Neptune Power Federation with a decidedly early 1980s American sound on their sixth studio album, Goodnight My Children. Inspired by the carefree and reckless Sunset Strip in Los Angeles, Goodnight My Children finds The Neptune Power Federation leaning into the poppier sound of their sound (think the Sunset Strip merging with late 1970s radio rock).
The album's eight cuts bang and mash with pure rock fervor, complete with roaring guitar solos and the alwaysmemorable, convincing, enticing and mesmerizing "The Imperial Priestess," otherwise known as Screamin' Loz Sutch, on lead vocals. Indeed, Goodnight My Children may be Sutch's finest vocal performance to date.
