<p><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic",sans-serif">It’s been a minute since their last transmission, but the chakras are finally aligned for the return of <b>Bag Raiders</b>. Premiering today on <b><i>Dancing Astronaut</i>,</b> the
now LA-based, Australian band have dropped their latest offering “<b>Vapour Trails</b>.” <b><a href="http://www.dancingastronaut.com/2015/06/bag-raiders-vapour-trails-da-premiere/">PRESS HERE</a> TO LISTEN.</b> “Vapour Trails," which was penned in Paris and
Sydney then recorded at The Boat in Los Angeles, is part of their forthcoming EP <b><i>Waterfalls </i></b>(out this Summer).</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><br>

Stracey</b>) enjoyed a rapturous</span><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic",sans-serif;color:red"> </span><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic",sans-serif;color:#222222">reception to their
ARIA-nominated, certified GOLD album in 2010. </span><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic",sans-serif">Their self-titled, debut LP included slices of euphoria like mega-hit “<b>Shooting Stars,</b>” “<b>Way Back Home</b>” and
“<b>Sunlight</b>.” 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 <i>Waterfalls </i>doesn’t abandon the dancefloor, but rather applies <b>Bag Raiders</b>’ production nous
and musical chops to a much broader sound palette.</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><br>
<br>
</span><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic",sans-serif">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 <b>BANKS</b>, <b>Riton, Kimbra, Cut Copy </b>and <b>The Ting Tings</b>, all of which were featured heavily on <b><i>Hype Machine</i></b>’s Popular Chart. </span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic",sans-serif">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. </span><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
