Release Notes:

Steve Kilbey is the singer, bassist and main lyricist of the legendary
Australian band, The Church. Over the span of more than two decades, Kilbey has
been one of the most prolific
songwriters of our generation, in addition to The Church he has also
collaborated with the late Grant McLennan (Go-Betweens) as well as a very
accomplished poet and painter. His own creative musical tally outside of The
Church includes six solo albums and numerous collaborative projects and
production credits. Painkiller marks Kilbey s first solo album in seven years
and arguably his best yet. The 11-track disc includes Church drummer, Tim Powles
as well as other guests including Ricky Rene Maymi from Brian Jonestown
Massacre. Painkiller is vast and immediate, lyrically intoxicating, musically
loose and rocking or spacious and trippy. It swings from delicate Psychedelic
Pop songs to radiotronic Space Rock monsters. ''The album stretches song
structures and warps your mind through swirling highs and long comedowns.''
Simply put, Painkiller is a masterpiece, the pump of sex, the swoon of drugs,
the struggle of a man, a fix for the world in pain, a must listen for all Church
or Kilbey fans.
