After three single releases and the completion of a sold out national tour across August, Bag Raiders (Jack Glass and Chris Stracey) unveil their long-awaited, sophomore album Horizons. Conceived, written and recorded all over the globe, Horizons features a stunning cast of Australian collaborators including Mickey Kojak, Panama, Tora and The Kite String Tangle.
The 12-track offering documents the journey Bag Raiders have been on since the release of their ARIA nominated Top 10 self-titled debut album in 2010. Culminating in a feast of electro-pop/house tunes, balancing electronic structures with their roots in live instrumentation, their new LP harnesses the beatific production the duo have built their name on, alongside a newfound introspective maturity.
