**DAVE GRANEY AND CLARE MOORE RETURN WITH NEW SINGLE ‘I AIN’T GOT NO FLOAT’ FROM FORTHCOMING ALBUM *****LABURNUM OF THE MIND***

**ALBUM RELEASED APRIL 30, 2026**

**Dave Graney and Clare Moore **return with their latest single **‘I Ain’t Got No Float’**, the second taste from their upcoming album ***LABURNUM OF THE MIND ***(out April 30)*, *

Described as “*an R&B groover with a drop D funk chugg to it. Rhythmic switchbacks and asides that summon the very Dan. Lots of space to it and some post punk white pepper on those clean, asymmetrical guitar licks. Clare Moore rocking straight through it like Bonzo or Paul Cook*.”

Featuring: 

**Dave Graney **on guitars and bass and vocals.  
**Clare Moore** on drums, keyboard and backing vocals.

The accompanying video, shot by Dave Graney and Will Hindmarsh (aka Twinkle Digitz), captures performances at Will’s studio alongside scenes filmed around Boronia Mall, with background images by Tony Mahony.

The Australian-made 1960s Vibralux GA12 guitar amplifier was sourced by John Brown, Tasmania.

**‘I Ain’t Got No Float’** follows on from recent single **‘Hits Are The Worst’**which has already been picking up strong support across community radio stations nationwide.** **

Of the forthcoming album,** Dave and Clare **are calling it what it is: a rock record.  As they explain: “*When we say “rock”, I guess we would be thinking of The Doors, Wire, Urge Overkill, Steely Dan, Queens Of the Stone Age, The Replacements, Pulp, Roxy Music, The Fall, The Blue Oyster Cult, and those kinds of tones. Those kinds of lyrical flights and suspensions. Bo Diddley and Latin beats and diminished and augmented chords. Expensive inversions. Flash stuff. Though there is also a lot of dumb, irrational, loose and goofy as well*”.

The first seven tracks are all pretty upbeat and *in the pocket* grooves. *Backbeats* abound. Then it gets freaky with the title track, **Laburnum Of The Mind,** and the diss song from out of time, **Little Bands Suck**.

All instruments are played by **Dave Graney and Clare Moore** with mistLY guitarist Stuart Perera guesting on two tracks. Recorded in Melbourne at Soundpark with Idge, the album was mixed by **Dave Graney and Clare Moore** and mastered by Idge.

And for those wondering where the album title came from?  *“Laburnum is a stop on the Belgrave train line from the CBD to the outer suburbs of South East Melbourne. Not a suburb, a stop”.   *

***I Ain’t Got No Float *****and *****Hits Are The Worst***** are out now.**

**ALBUM – *****Laburnum Of The Mind***** – will be released on April 30, 2026, and will be available on Vinyl, CD, and all streaming platforms.   *** *
