Wet Kiss 'Thus Spoke The Broken Chanteuse' LP Vinyl

PRE-ORDER: Shipping from Friday 27th June, 2025

Naarm/Melbourne antic glam rock group Wet Kiss are back, sharing their first new music since 2022’s She’s So Cool with ‘Isn’t Music Wonderful’. The new release comes alongside the announcement of their highly-awaited sophomore album – and their first for Dinosaur City – Thus Spoke the Broken Chanteuse, out Friday, June 28. Listen to ‘Isn’t Music Wonderful’ HERE. Pre-order Thus Spoke the Broken Chanteuse HERE. Thus Spoke the Broken Chanteuse is exactly what the title suggests. Our chanteuse here is the sensational jezebel Brenna O: Part Factory Girl, part Fassbinder heroine, all peroxide locks and shiny, skin-tight '$2 dresses', sneering and growling across the stage, mixing greasy punk with cabaret excess. Or as she likes to put it: 'the punk Bette Midler is here.' What is she saying? Well, a few things. Produced by Andrew Huhtanen McEwan, Thus Spoke the Broken Chanteuse is about the grubby pleasures of hopping on the Melbourneto- Berlin artist pipeline. It’s about 'daddy at the abattoir,' slaughtering piggies. It’s about gloomy waits at the gender clinic so you can get your estrogen. It’s about dingy, crap clubs, desolate glamour, strutting down the street with your dignity in tatters, upskirting, indulgence and the glory of turning fantasy into reality. The album name is also something of a joke, melding a music journalist’s snide comment about the band ('broken chanteuse') with a nod to Nietzsche’s Thus Spoke Zarathustra ...
