The Church: KCRW Live from HQ
Intimate performances, fresh sounds, and candid conversations with a view.
Australian dream-pop legends The Church bless an intimate audience at KCRW’s Annenberg Performance Studio with the first-ever American performance of new material from their 26th album, The Hypnogogue. The band’s unmistakable blend of lush atmospherics and diamond-edged rock ’n’ roll remains as intoxicating as ever.
And frontman Steve Kilbey remains as audacious as ever, sitting down (and sometimes jumping up) for a freewheeling interview about concept albums, the occult, and performing at KCRW in the 1980s. Click above to watch the set, and listen to the audio for an extended version of the performance and interview.
