In my recent interview with Steve Kilbey, singer, bass player and songwriter for The Church, he hinted that ‘The Hypnogogue’, the new album from The Church, would be their last.

Album Review: Steve Kilbey (The Church) and Martin Kennedy (All India Radio) are Kilbey/Kennedy and they combine forces again to weave their aesthetically jaw-dropping sci-fi sonic magic.
Steve Kilbey (The Church) and Martin Kennedy (All India Radio) separately produce some of the most stunning music coming out of Australia in their various guises.
