Innovative jazz/funk outfit Dig (Directions In Groove) is excited to announce the release of the band’s first studio album in thirteen years. Titled ‘Clearlight’, it will be released on 14th October via ABC Music, with the band embarking on the ‘Clearlight’ national tour through November and December, traversing the country from Cairns through to Perth!

Reflecting on the last twenty years, and brimming with excitement about the release of their fourth studio album and a full-scale national tour, the members of Dig (Directions In Groove) share their thoughts with us as they prepare for the next chapter in the band’s rich history.

“When Dig formed in 1991 it was a serendipitous meeting of musicians who liked both kinds of music, Jazz and Funk, not to mention Rock, Hip Hop and a lot more, and who wanted it all! Twenty years later the band is still searching and defying simple categorisation. This new album is an intriguing collection of disparate tracks that run the gamut from Moody Illbient /Trip Hop through to almost indie pop without losing that distinctive poise and focus that marks all of Dig’s work.

Dig spent almost a decade in the 90’s spreading the word and gigging hard, but ultimately needed a break. As we’ve regrouped to do some gigs over the last few years, it has been obvious that Dig is much greater than the sum of the parts. To still feel after 20 years that there is a real chemistry amongst the members is incredibly exciting, and I feel humbled and very grateful to be working again with exceptional people that I respect as musicians and love as friends. The addition of vocalist Laura Stitt has been a revelation; she is the ideal collaborator for Dig, with an instinctive tastefulness and restraint that is perfectly attuned to our sense of style.
