NO ONE DESERVES YOU

Crayon Fields, Melbourne's own euphoric pop icons, return with their third album No One Deserves You, their first since epochal 2009 classic All the Pleasures Of the World.

All the Pleasures was a worldwide phenomenon, one of the first Melbourne albums of the modern era to reach an international audience. The album led to Pitchfork raves, tours of the US and Europe, releases in Japan and the UK, shows with Spoon, Best Coast, First Aid Kit, Stereolab and appearances at Australian festivals like Laneway, Golden Plains and the Big Day Out.

Coming off their third overseas tour in 2010, the band took a break that turned into more of a hiatus, although calling it quits was never on the cards. Band frontman Geoffrey O'Connor launched his celebrated solo career with 2011's Vanity Is Forever and then 2014's Fan Fiction, but all the while Crayon Fields continued quietly working on another album.

The result is a glorious pop record. No One Deserves You presents Crayon Fields in vibrant technicolour, full and free and self-assured. All the classic Crayon Fields trademarks are there - the vocal harmonies, guitarist Chris Hung's fearsome fretwork, Brett Hudson's nimble basslines and Geoffrey's sly, debonair songwriting. But it is also Crayon Fields as you've never heard them before - grown-up, knowing and with a slight swagger in their step.
