CHURCH - PRIEST=AURA (180G)

Priest=Aura is the eighth studio album by the Australian alternative rock band The Church. It was named after frontman Steve Kilbey's misreading of a Spanish fan's English vocabulary notes (the word for 'priest' in Spanish is 'cura'). It is the first album they recorded with drummer Jay Dee Daugherty, who is famous for his work with Patti Smith. His addition to the band brought a fresh, almost jazz-like sound to their music. Heavily influenced by psychedelic rock and dream pop, the album features the songs "Dome", "Ripple" and "Feel". Both the band and their fans consider Priest=Aura to be an artistic high point for The Church. Priest=Aura is available on 180g black vinyl.
