Dead Letter Circus were an alternative rock band out of Brisbane, fronted by Kim Benzie with Stuart Hill on bass, and they played progressive rock for people who still want a hook: big, pulsing riffs, intricate rhythms and choruses that open up like a skylight.
This Is the Warning, their 2010 debut, was the breakthrough. It entered the Australian album chart at No. 2, fed a run of singles to radio, went gold, and later made triple j listeners' Hottest 100 Albums of All Time at number 86. "One Step" and "Big" show why: tightly wound songs that build and build, with Benzie's soaring vocal riding over the churn.
Three more albums followed: The Catalyst Fire in 2013, Aesthesis in 2015 and a self-titled record in 2018.
