The band played a handful of shows a few years ago, but found it near impossible to continue due to members spread across the far reaches of Australia. Try organising practice when some live in Victoria, another in Queensland, and another in the Northern Territory. Somehow Spiritual Mafia managed to record an album, and look forward to re- establishing their existence in a much-craved post-lockdown world.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eValidating the band’s semi-ridiculous name, there is something ‘spiritual’ about this\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ealbum. Alfresco breaks things down to their basic elements. Lyrics focus on themes of water, food, and the human body. Primitive, yet timeless stuff.

It’s a different kind of spirituality that one wouldn’t find in the background of a yoga class. But it does have a Zen aspect.

But on top of the standard rock band instrumentation, add some cosmic synths, and healthy amounts of\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eturntablism littered throughout the jams.\u003cbr\u003eAlfresco tries to remind the listener that if we forget our troubles for a moment and go for a swim (20 minutes after eating), then the world would be a happier place. Out from March 12th in very limited quantities on Anti Fade Records in Australia and Ever\/Never Records in the USA.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003eAnti Fade, 2021\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"naturestripstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46022887375089,"sku":"","price":42.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0634\/8859\/0065\/files\/spiritualmafia_alfresco.jpg?v=1742864927","url":"https:\/\/naturestripstore.myshopify.com\/products\/spiritual-mafia-alfresco-lp","provider":"naturestripstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
