Recorded in just twelve days at Melbourne’s York Street Studios with producer Dan Luscombe and engineer Stefan Blair, Zone 3 follows the previous album, Force Majeure, which was released in January 2025 to much acclaim.

The keyboard pulse that opens Measuring Cup might as well have come from a 1970s monosynth – some ancient, dusty second-hand object like a Wasp. For a few seconds, it forces out a repetitive tone that feels like it’s about to lift everything off the ground. As the song properly starts, bass and synths fleck around a precision rhythm track, followed by a petulant vocal – somehow both disaffected and alluring at once – that asks a list of questions that burrow into the heart of it all.

By the time the chorus arrives, the whole thing sounds like a party kicking off in the recording studio. Guitars fly through, and the voice finally invites the listener to get onside.

That monosynth is still in there somewhere, hard to hear now as everything has lifted off the ground. As album openers go, Delivery’s Measuring Cup is brimming over – a punk-rock punch that’s ready to intoxicate anyone who’s got the guts to drain that cup. This is how Zone 3 – the third album by Delivery – begins.

Talking about ‘Measuring Cup’ the band said:

There is a certain kind of pressure in modern society to be vigilant about who someone is, what they stand for and if they are “your people.” But it’s not necessarily a bad thing. It’s a challenge to engage positively with people who hold different values or stances, and also a celebration when you know you’ve found someone who aligns with you, whether that’s politically, socially, or personally. Measuring Cup is like an invitation to get on a level together and join the clurb.

Delivery are a band in constant motion. Fusing post-punk, punk, garage rock and dancefloor rhythms into something distinctly their own, the five-piece have spent the last few years transforming from a lockdown project into one of Australia’s most compelling and restless guitar bands.

Featuring Bec Allan (bass, vocals), James Lynch (guitars, synths, vocals), Scarlett Maloney (guitar, vocals), Jordan Oakley (guitar) and Liam Kenny (drums, vocals), Delivery emerged from Melbourne’s COVID lockdowns before building momentum through relentless touring and their acclaimed second album, Force Majeure, which Rolling Stone called “a statement of intent”. 

Now, Zone 3 marks a new chapter. Written and recorded in the wake of extensive time on the road, the album captures Delivery as a fully formed unit – confident enough to trust their instincts and adventurous enough to push beyond the sounds that first defined them.

 Conceived as a late-night record, Zone 3 is built for the hours when the streetlights burn brightest: rigid drum-machine grooves, synth pulses, wiry guitars, hypnotic basslines and vocals that shift effortlessly between detached cool and infectious urgency. It’s a record for crowded bars, packed dancefloors, darkened clubs and the hazy hours before sunrise.

Zone 3 is Delivery at their most focused, playful and expansive – a forty-minute trip through the city after dark, and a bold statement from a band still accelerating.

“The Balearic Breakfast series just keeps getting better and better…” Test Pressing

If the whole world is going mad right in front of your eyes, is there a way to escape all the chaos? What sounds will help you dive into a sunrise – or a sunset – that forms every time you close your eyes? Can music lift your mood sky-high when you’re low, turn the madness down a few notches, and let you float off on lazy waves lapping the sandy shoreline that’s formed right there in your mind?

Having researched all of these issues, Heavenly Recordings can safely say that Colleen ‘Cosmo’ Murphy has found the solution to all of them.

*Includes the album in-full.
*An in-depth interview with Kevin Rowland and Disco Pogo Journalist Johnno Burgess.
*A remix by ‘LOVE’ producer David Holmes.

“The main instrument here is Rowland’s voice, swooping, soaring, emoting, from lullaby to protest, it is on fabulous form…if ‘LOVE’ is ‘goodnight’ Kevin Rowland closes the door on one of the most fiercely singular careers in pop music.”

– Album of the Month ★★★★★ Record Collector –

“There’s an organic warmth throughout, helped by an expanded line-up and strings-laden production from David Holme; an unhurried organ jazz organ rendition of Tim Buckley’s Strange Feelin’ is a highlight. What really hits home…is the lyricism.”

– Album of the Week ★★★★ The Times –

“Producer David Holmes gives ‘LOVE’ a warm, organic richness, with Philly soul-style strings adding glitterball-reflected drama to ‘You’ve Got The Love’ and Barry White like sensuality to lonely supplicants of ‘I Want To Be Holding You Next Christmas.”

– ★★★★ Mojo Magazine –

“Rowland is in a contemplative and sentimental mood here – which producer David Holmes teases elegantly – with his voice still full of velvet and vigour.”

-★★★★ Uncut Magazine –

“This is indisputably the best Kevin Rowland has ever created…The arrangements, lush and orchestral, underpin bare emotion that his vocals can convey with a subtlety and variation that can only come from experience. Album of the year, very probably.”

– 9/10 Vive Le Rock –

“This David Holmes-produced affair is a Proustian trawl through Rowland’s personal back pages, awash with purging and redemption. This forms a companion piece of sorts to his candid 2025 memoir, Bless Me Father, and accompanying in-conversation shows.”

– Album of the Month ★★★★ The List –

“Simply titled Love, Rowland is another of his soul modes. This time around, it is that classic soul sound that many label as deep soul, and it just might be exactly where Rowland’s true love lies and seems to suit him oh so well.”

– ★★★★ Spill Magazine –

“On LOVE, their first record under the full name in decades, Kevin Rowland does not so much sing ten songs as interrogate them in public. Produced by David Holmes, the album frames his cries, whispers and spoken asides with patient soul arrangements, creating music that feels both intimate and knowingly theatrical.”

– ★★★★ Gigshack –

“Love overflows with all the coolness, passion and feeling as their 46-year-old debut album Searching For The Young Soul Rebels – what’s more, Dexys haven’t lost any of their vintage sartorial sharpness, remaining probably the only band to have ever looked good in denim.”

– ★★★★ Buzz Magazine –

“Fuelled by his unrelenting commitment to revealing truth through art…This new record will come alive on stage, in one of the band’s inimitable theatrical presentations.”

– The Observer –

“Stories of family and friends, tales from past and present. All drawn from Kevin Rowland’s life, each an individual jewel, threaded together with love.”

– Album of The Week – Tinnitist –

“The strength of LOVE lies in “My Life in England, Pt.1” and “My Life in England, Pt.2”. Peering back at Don’t Stand Me Down power ballads “Reminisce Part Two” and “Knowledge of Beauty”, Rowland updates the narrative to showcase an Irish émigré settling in a land that traditionally mocked his class and ethnicity. Vocalizing with every ounce of power, Rowland shouts “that’s my life”, as committed to his melody as Frank Sinatra was on “My Way”. This world is built up on immigration, and humanity benefits from trading cultures. Love is testament to that universal transaction.”

– 8/10 Pop Matters –

“Be charmed by LOVE: Which transcends place and generation to immerse us once again in the Dexys Midnight Runners world: a place shaped by the many forms of love a life can encounter, with Rowland as riveting a protagonist as ever.”

– The Line of Best Fit 8/10 –

“Lyrically, it’s a very personal record – but musically it’s very much a band record. As well as Holmes’ spot-on production, it’s beautifully scored and played, rather than simply being carefully handpicked session musicians. Given the frustrations and regrets at times in his memoir, it does feel like Kevin Rowland is much more at peace with the world.”

– God Is The TV Zine 8/10 –

“As a massive Dexys-head (Searching for the Young Soul Rebels is one of my favorite albums of the early eighties), I’ve been eagerly awaiting LOVE—the band’s seventh and presumably final record—since the day it was announced, and it does not disappoint. Editor Matt Mitchell wrote in their profile of frontman Kevin Rowland that “LOVE is Rowland’s best project since Don’t Stand Me Down in 1985,” and I can’t help but agree.”

– Album of The Week Paste Magazine –

“Produced by David Holmes, LOVE dresses that revelation in warm soul, strings, piano, disco, and occasional flashes of the old Northern soul stomp… Once A Man, Twice A Child…is the album’s most moving song, perhaps because it earns the simplicity that elsewhere comes too cheaply.”

– Awards Music –

“LOVE holds whether one has been a fan of Dexys Midnight Runners since the early 1980s or has just started listening to the catalog.”

The original track – taken from Joshua’s phenomenal recent album (I Know You’re Hurting, Everyone Is Hurting, Everyone Is Trying, You Have Got To Try) – felt like a paranoid walk around the capitol during covid. Colleen Murphy’s Cosmodelica remix parts the clouds that shrouded that version and brings the sunshine right in. A bassline that bounces through the middle of the track, an irresistible percussive rhythm, and Joshua’s voice, just floating above it all. Play loud, day or night – this is the sound of the summer.

♡ WATCH THE VIDEO | LISTEN TO ‘YOU’VE GOT THE LOVE.♡

Talking about the track, Kevin Rowland said:

“When we started writing, I went to Mike [Timothy], and said: have you got any ideas? and he sent me some, and I picked out two or three, which ended up on the album, and this was one of them. It was really simple. I was seeing a woman at the time, and I wrote the lyric, and Mike and I messed around until we were happy with it. The woman is not in my life anymore, so I’ve never told her I wrote it. I suppose I should. It might be nice for her to know.”

Believe in Substack Magic…Heavenly words incoming.

Flowing in on a slow motion percussion loop that seems to cross borders as it progresses, Absolute Lilt bring an R&B-infused traditional Irish melody, through their closely-blended voices, right into the 21st century. The resulting track is utterly magical and – dare we say it – a piece of truly transcendent music. A wordless, laid-back summer anthem waiting to happen.

• LISTEN TO ‘DREAMING OF LILT’ •

Part of the all-female Irish collective BIIRD, Absolute Lilt said about the new single:

“This is something different for us. We wanted to fuse Irish lilt with a world music feel and create a hypnotic soundscape to get lost in. One of our favourites from the EP!“

• CRIOSTAL EP • RELEASED ON JULY 31ST • PRE-SAVE HERE •

The EP brings a modern take on one of Ireland’s oldest vocal traditions, lilting and is a swirling hypnosis of a song that marries two perfect voices to create something that’s part Balearic and 1000% Irish.

Talking about the remix, the original of which appears on his recently released debut album, ‘I Know You’re Hurting, Everyone Is Hurting, Everyone Is Trying, You Have Got To Try’ which was out in March, Joshua said:

“This is two stories: my neighbour from my old flat in Grondal. His partner has dementia. One time when we shared a lift, he mentioned how she likes to go for walks so she has a phone on her in case she ever gets lost, but now they’re worried she might not even remember to call. The other is about a toilet attendant i met at Hootenanny Brixton (For a time, most of the toilet attendants in nightclubs around London came from my hometown of Benin City). His name was Osahon. He said back home, he was a dentist.”

His musical partner, Ludvig Parment added:

“I remember this one being one that we had a lot of discussions about and Josh originally wanted me to extend the verse with like 20 bars because he had a long story about rappers. So I was a little bit… curious, when he finally came in to record the vocals. But then he came in with those verses that I think are among my favourite lyrics of all time. I also finally got to play the vibraphone that’s been taking up like half the space of my studio for two years and mostly been functioning as a table.”

• ‘ALLBARONE VERSIONS’ • RELEASED DIGITALLY ON JULY 24TH •

When is a record ever finished? Baxter Dury’s eighth album, Allbarone, seemed to be done and dusted after release last autumn, yet super-producer Paul Epworth (Adele, U2) decided it was a good idea to work on extensions of five of tracks from the album. Not just extensions – full on electro-disco mixes that take tracks apart from the edges and reorder them into relentless dance floor tools built to perfectly soundtrack the small hours.

Each track finds a groove and takes its journey right through the middle of the original track, to create classic 12″ extended remixes, adding a whole load of echoing dub over flickering percussion tracks, madly addictive basslines and gloriously languid disco rhythm tracks. From Kubla Khan’s hefty low-end groove to Alpha Dog’s deconstructed nightclub dub via Schadenfreude’s Eurodisco bass and fizzing hi-hat pulse, Paul Epworth’s phenomenal new mixes lift Baxter’s tracks up to another level.

Finally, Allbarone’s done, and it’s become the perfect soundtrack to whatever you’re doing this weekend.
