The Official Fiction by Something For Kate
The Official Fiction is an album by Something For Kate, released in 2003. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 2 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Déjà Vu”, on 1 list with a best position of #11.
The Official Fiction, Something for Kate's fourth album, came out on Murmur in 2003 and found the Australian trio at full strength. Paul Dempsey sings and plays guitar, Clint Hyndman drums and Stephanie Ashworth plays bass and sings backup, and they sound more confident here than ever: taut, melodic alternative rock with enough dark clouds to keep it honest.
"Déjà Vu" was the first single, a slow-burning, chiming thing that remains a fixture of their live sets, and "Song For A Sleepwalker" and "Moving Right Along" followed. The album debuted at the top of the ARIA chart and went platinum, with more than 70,000 sold, earned the band four ARIA nominations including Album of the Year, and took Rolling Stone's Album of the Year and Single of the Year for "Déjà Vu".
