Melbourne’s local favourites The Raffaellas are gearing up to unleash their brand new EP Dreams Out of Reach, which we have the pleasure of premiering today.

The stunning release see the four-piece channel their appreciation for classic rock and 12-bar blues into carefully crafted melodic compositions with a distinctly contemporary style.

This impressive effort is the band’s second full length EP. Produced and tracked independently, the EP was recorded with Oscar Dawson (HOLY HOLY) at Aviary Studios in Collingwood, and in a home studio in Daylesford.

A follow on from the band’s 2012 self-titled EP,  Dreams Out of Reach is a personal record which sees the band explore themes of imagination, dreams and growing older.

No strangers to the stage, the guys have played alongside Stonefield, City Calm Down, Lurch and Chief, Neighbourhood Youth, as well as supporting Jinja Safari on their most recent national tour, and gracing the stage at local festivals including Swagger Festival and Winter’s End alongside Pete Bibby, The Pretty Littles, and the Pierce Brothers.

Check out the new record below and if you like what you’re hearing be sure to pop by the band’s Facebook or catch the guys in action this April and May.
