Hi Viz by The Presets

Hi Viz, the fourth album from the Presets, came out in Australia on 1 June 2018 as the follow-up to Pacifica, and it finds Julian Hamilton on vocals and keyboards and Kim Moyes on drums and keyboards deliberately loosening their ties. The duo said they were trying to get back to fun, and that the whole message of the record was inclusiveness: a party, and everybody's invited. You can hear it in "Do What You Want" and "Martini", strobe-lit, sweat-slicked club tracks with a big, welcoming grin.

This is the band that swept six ARIA Awards in 2008 with Apocalypso, and Hi Viz doesn't try to outmuscle that; it just dances. The AU Review gave it 4 out of 5 and called it a defining point for the Presets. They took it out on a national tour starting that June, and its sleeve picked up an ARIA nomination for Best Cover Art.
