Jem Aswad Senior Music EditorIt’s safe to say that although Italian rock quartet Maneskin were pretty huge in their home country and parts of Europe when they took the Eurovision stage last year, their name recognition and popularity exploded when they won the coveted prize with their song “Zitti E Buoni.” Over the past year, the group has seen their streams, sales and tour itineraries soar, appeared on “Saturday Night Live” and at the Coachella festival — and perhaps most impressive of all, began working with Max Martin, the most successful songwriter-producer of the past 25 years (from Britney Spears and Backstreet Boys to Katy Perry to the Weeknd and Taylor Swift), on their next album.Although the group premiere a new, anti-Putin song called “Gasoline” at Coachella last month, the first fruit of the new partnership arrives tonight: the single “Supermodel,” which drops tonight. While Martin started off as a singer in a hard rock band, this is the first time in many years he’s worked with one — and it’s hard not to notice that the song’s riff owes more than a little to Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit.” “Yeeepppp,” bassist Victoria De Angelis acknowledges coyly.
Nick Cave.The song begins with waves of distorted guitar chords and Kirsty Tickle’s heavily manipulated vocals, before giving way to Jonathan Boulet’s propulsive drumming and wailing saxophone from Tickle.Marking the first time another artist has featured on a Party Dozen track, Cave joins in the song’s last minute, delivering its repeated refrain – “I got a mutt, I got a mutt, I got a mutt / Got a mutt, got a mutt called Macca” – with his distinctive vocals.Listen to ‘Macca The Mutt’ below:Party Dozen announced third album ‘The Real Work’ back in March alongside the song ‘The Iron Boot’, having released lead single ‘The Worker’ back in January of 2021.The forthcoming album – which follows on from 2020’s ‘Pray For Party Dozen’ and 2017 debut ‘The Living Man’ – was recorded and produced by Boulet in the duo’s Sydney studio space. It’s scheduled to arrive on July 8 via New York label Temporary Residence outside of Australia and New Zealand, where it will be released by Boulet’s own label, Grupo.Party Dozen have also announced a trio of album launch shows for ‘The Real Work’, playing shows in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne in July.
