'Nice 'N’ Easy' is the new single lifted from the forthcoming 808s and Greatest Hits EP which will be released in August/September 2016 via Melbourne indie label Our Golden Friend. Of the track the mind behind 808s Skube Burnell says "It's literally all about just doing what you want to do, and well, I guess it also talks about the opposite of that. It was my attempt at writing a Beach Boys inspired song and then it didn’t end up like that.” The track was once again mixed by recent collaborators Stu MacKenzie (King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard) and mastered by Mikey Young (Eddy Current Suppression Ring, Total Control).

808s and Greatest Hits is the bedroom recording project of Melbourne based multi-instrumentalist Skube Burnell (band member of Chips Calipso & Poppongene). As 808s and Greatest Hits Burnell released his debut album Featuring A. Fantastic Reprise independently via bandcamp in 2014. In December 2015 Burnell released a two-track 7" featuring down-tempo pseudo-pop songs ‘New Bounce’ and ‘House of Love’ mixed by Stu MacKenzie (King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard) and mastered by Mikey Young (Eddy Current Suppression Ring, Total Control). 2016/2017 will see 808s and Greatest Hits release his follow up album as well as assembling a live band to recreate his bedroom recordings for the live stage for the very first time.

You can grab yourself a lil wax copy of 808s & Greatest Hits New Bounce 7" right here on bandcamp.
