It's been a minute since their last transmission, but the chakras are finally aligned for the return of Bag Raiders. Premiering today on Dancing Astronaut, the now LA-based, Australian band have dropped their latest offering "Vapour Trails." PRESS HERE<http://www.dancingastronaut.com/2015/06/bag-raiders-vapour-trails-da-premiere/> TO LISTEN.  "Vapour Trails," which was penned in Paris and Sydney then recorded at The Boat in Los Angeles, is part of their forthcoming EP Waterfalls (out this Summer).

Bag Raiders (Jack Glass and Chris Stracey) enjoyed a rapturous reception to their ARIA-nominated, certified GOLD album in 2010. Their self-titled, debut LP included slices of euphoria like mega-hit "Shooting Stars," "Way Back Home" and "Sunlight." After their world-tour ended in 2012, the band decamped from Sydney to Los Angeles, finding inspiration in the city's new age of energy and foreign landscapes. They swiftly went back into the studio, crafting another suite of songs, this time further evolved from the tracks off their bashful, club-focused debut LP. Having always opted for instruments over computers, the new material on Waterfalls doesn't abandon the dancefloor, but rather applies Bag Raiders' production nous and musical chops to a much broader sound palette.

Over a three year span, Stracey and Glass continued to collaborate, write and produce for other artists' forthcoming projects. They also recorded stellar remixes for various artists such as BANKS, Riton, Kimbra, Cut Copy and The Ting Tings, all of which were featured heavily on Hype Machine's Popular Chart. Whilst offers to play major festivals around the world kept coming in, the band went against the demands; putting their live show on ice and focusing on meticulously crafting and strengthening their sound.

For a limited time "Vapour Trails" will be offered as free download at www.bagraiders.com<http://www.bagraiders.com>.
