Starting as a three song suite that was intended for 2021's Social Bubble, the album charts the journey of a dystopian king and the downfall of a despot through heavy prog influences and dark synths. Mixed by John Lee at Phaedra and mastered by David Walker at Stepford Audio the album was woven together from songs swapped back and forth between members Skube Burnell, Ronnie Frew, Lochy Funston and Nathan Nicholson. 

Our Lord In Exile sees 808s & Greatest Hits dive deep into a narrative concept, creating their most ambitious and collaborative album yet. The double A side singles explore the intricacies of power struggles and control, a dystopian landscape masterfully captured across the tracks.

808s & Greatest Hits, initially the recording project of Melbourne’s Skube Burnell has grown into a collaborative maelstrom of local creatives. 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. They have released three albums, 2019's Cabin Vibes, 2020 album Greatest Hits II and Social Bubble in 2021. 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.

Our Lord In Exile will be released September 15th 2023.
