KISSCHASY MARKS A NEW ERA WITH LATEST TRACK ‘PARASITE’

After a triumphant celebration of their seminal record Hymns For The Non-Believers took them around the country, on a run of shows that reinforced their legacy and enduring live presence, Kisschasy now surge forward into a new creative arc. Having teased a fresh chapter of music with the release of ‘Lie To Me’ ahead of their latest Australian tour, the Melbourne favourites are back with a new track, ‘Parasite’. 
As with ‘Lie To Me’, Kisschasy’s latest release is a poignant reminder of the natural chemistry that has existed within the band since their beginnings on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula; chemistry that has evolved over the years into an energy that feels vibrant and layered with maturity and perspective.
Though the band is based between Los Angeles and Melbourne, Kisschasy’s cohesion remains strong throughout the music we’ve been treated to from the group in 2025. 

The single was recorded between Woodstock Studios in Melbourne with Richard Stolz (Paul Kelly, Bodyjar), and Cordeaux’s own studio in Los Angeles. Produced by Cordeaux and mixed by John O’Mahony (Coldplay, Metric) in New York City, ‘Parasite’ was created with the idea of keeping everything as organic as possible — true to the overall Kisschasy sound.

“We used old tube amps, old tube microphones, no autotune and very few effects; our aim being to avoid anything being overthought or overwrought. The trouble with modern recording is that you can get caught in this feedback loop of constantly tweaking a song to the point that it loses its spark, its soul. One advantage we have as a band is that we’ve been the same four members since Day One. We speak a subliminal musical language that means that, even if there are mistakes, they work somehow. Perfection is boring anyway.” DARREN CORDEUX, KISSCHASY
