808s & GREATEST HITS SHARE NEW ALBUM SOCIAL BUBBLE
Today 808s & Greatest Hits share their latest album Social Bubble. The third album from the band sees Skube Burnell team up with long time collaborator and band member Lochlan Funston, swapping tracks and ideas to create the perfect breezy summer album.
Aptly named Social Bubble was recorded amidst the lockdowns of Melbourne throughout 2020 and 2021, providing time for reflection and experimentation. Social Bubble is out today Wednesday 22nd of December 2021 on digital services via Our Golden Friend.

The follow up to 2020's Greatest Hits II, this album sees Burnell again enlisting the help of Dylan Young (Way Dynamic, Snowy Band, Emma Russack) to engineer and mix the tracks, giving space for the album to evolve into its final form. Mastered by David Walker of Stepford Audio the nine tracks speak to the the banality, intricacies and abusurdities of the past two years indoors. Songs traverse genre and thematic lands but the distance is always visible and reachable.
808s & Greatest Hits, initially the recording project of Melbourne’s Skube Burnell has grown into a collaboration with long time member Lochlan Funston. 808s & Greatest Hits’ recorded material and live shows feature a revolving cast of friends and collaborators who allow the project to take unconventional and exciting detours along the journey swapping seamlessly between tracks written by Burnell and Funston. Previous incarnations of 808s & Greatest Hits have seen Burnell collaborate with a 5-piece band and other recordings and performances have captured 808s at its most intimate and introspective from Skube alone.
Greatest Hits II is released today Wednesday December 22nd via Our Golden Friend. Listen to the album HERE.
