Pre-Order: Let Your Hair Down - Pingu's Anthem B/W Gronk [7" Vinyl]

Seven-piece instrumental group Let Your Hair Down herald their triumphant return with super heavy new 7"" Pingu's Anthem b/w Gronk. Hailing from the hotbed of Melbourne / Naarm, Australia, Let Your Hair Down step out from the shadows for the first time since their 2021 album 'Waiting Room'. The seven-headed cinematic funk group is a conglomerate of Melbourne's thriving cinematic soul movement, comprising members of Surprise Chef, Karate Boogaloo, Owelu Dreamhouse and Temporary Blessings. The band's sound is a sturdy mix of dusty minor key funk, off-kilter conguero psychedelia and horn-heavy boogaloo, represented robustly across both sides of the forthcoming College of Knowledge 45 'Pingu's Anthem b/w Gronk'.Side A, 'Pingu's Anthem', pays tribute to the tune's titular penguin protagonist. Emblematic of Pingu himself, LYHD's horn section sticks it's chest out boisterously atop the rock-solid drum feel of Hudson Whitlock. The tune is laced with a resolute flute solo from saxophonist Will Morrissey. Side B, 'Gronk', is a punishing funk cut; relentless rhythm section careening through the tune, punctuated by the metallic, percussive sound of an empty gas bottle being struck. Razor sharp farfisa and menacing horns reinforce this deadly joint as one to handle with care. Pingu's Anthem b/w Gronk is out worldwide on 45RPM 7"" vinyl on College of Knowledge Records August 7th 2026.
