🎙️ Post-punk Heartstrings Episode 040
Transmissions from The Church: Steve Kilbey on Obsession, Myth, and Channeling the Music
In this landmark 40th episode, we sit down with Steve Kilbey — bassist, lyricist, and founder of the iconic Australian band The Church. From early musical beginnings to post-punk stardom, Kilbey walks us through the obsessions, mysticism, and myth-making that fuel his prolific output. We talk about Bowie, ambient textures, concept albums, and how songs like Under the Milky Way come to him like transmissions from another place.
🎸 Steve’s start in music, early band Baby Grande, and the urge to write more than play
🌀 The origin of The Church name — a nod to Bowie’s “Moonage Daydream”
🤝 Meeting the original lineup: Peter Koppes, Marty Willson-Piper, Nick Ward
⛪ The use of religious and mythological themes in his lyrics (Priest = Aura, “Kings”)
🌫️ The evolution of ambient textures in The Church’s music (“Summer,” Forget Yourself)
🥁 Drum loops, Richard Ploog’s final recordings (Gold Afternoon Fix)
🎧 Collaborations: Isidore with Jeffrey Cain and No Agenda with Hammock
📼 Outtakes & B-sides: Beside Yourself, Back With Two Beasts, So Love May Find Us
📖 The Hypnogogue saga: Eros Zeta, futuristic concept albums, and the companion novella
🛸 New album Lacuna coming late 2025
🛤️ The Road to Tibooburra - Steve Kilbey and band The Winged Heels and the theatrical story of Lord Jim.
