Convenience Store's music reckons desperately with the complex stories we tell to try to make sense of ourselves, offering a nocturnal, foggy kind of rock music underscored by penetrating sincerity. They place Nick Baker's literary, bare-all songwriting at the centre of a scattered world of melodic guitars and fresh electronic textures, grounded in the history of moody UK guitar bands.
Convenience Store has previously seen praise from Rolling Stone Australia, MILKY, and Happy Magazine. Their debut album ‘Tabis’ was selected as an AIR (Australian Independent Record Labels Association) Feature Album, and the group have seen airplay across KEXP (USA), Triple J, RRR, PBI, FBi, and more.
On ‘Tabis’, Convenience Store push their signature tightrope between confession and cinema to its most ambitious and affecting extremes. It’s a record about illusions: the stories we tell ourselves to survive, the doublespeak of growing up, and the disorienting sense that nothing in life ever fully resolves.
Convenience Store are set to follow 'Tabis' with 'The Glass Children', a bold sophomore statement that turns the dial up on their anthemic indie swagger. The record feels inventive and transcendent, crystallising the essence of what makes this Melbourne outfit special.
