But The Church did just that with The Hypnogogue, an album so adored by critics and fans alike that it ushered in an entirely new era for the Australian band.\u003cbr\u003eNow armed with their 28th album Lacuna, the psychedelic dreampop legends continue to evolve and transform, remaining not only relevant but consistently delivering music that is innovative yet true to their signature sound. “Intense, forlorn, and exultant,” is how bassist\/vocalist\/founder Steve Kilbey describes the album.\u003cbr\u003eWith a measured command of melody and instrumentation that only comes with experience and age, it’s an album rife with indelible musical clasps that fasten hold of your attention and refuses easy surrender. It’s a steadfast talent that Kilbey hosts close to his chest that’s been ever-present in the 27 albums that preceded it (best evidenced by the jubilant, nearly sold out 2025-2026 Singles Tour legs across Australia and North America, featuring night after night of incredible three-hour sets).\u003cbr\u003eStarting in 1980, The Church continued expanding their highly cinematic and atmospheric blend of indie rock, shimmering post-punk, icy dreampop and psychedelic post-rock without retreading their steps. Beginning with classic early albums Of Skins and Heart, The Blurred Crusade, and Heyday which built a sturdy foundation, 1988’s Starfish broke into the mainstream and gave The Church the international hit “Under the Milky Way.” The hit single has been regarded as one of the most influential and recognizable Australian rock anthems of all time.\u003cbr\u003eAvailable to pre order on double LP in a gatefold sleeve, CD and digital.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: NEW\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: ALT\/INDIE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLabel: Cooking Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCatalog Number: LP-COOK-958C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Type: 2xLP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 10\/30\/2026\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The Church","offers":[{"title":"- ALT\/INDIE *NEW\/COLOR*","offer_id":66754379907187,"sku":"39V6J0-4NIJ-00","price":42.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0500\/7837\/files\/alt-indie-new-color_kzpbq.jpg?v=1790767686","url":"https:\/\/www.lovevinylrecords.com\/products\/the-church-presale-10-30-26-lacuna-2lp-poly-lined-inner-sleeve-gtfld-red-vinyl-2xlp-new","provider":"Love Vinyl Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
