Party Dozen, consisting of saxophonist Kirsty Tickle and percussionist Jonathan Boulet, released their fourth album, Crime In Australia late last year. The album was a highly anticipated follow-up to their international breakthrough, The Real Work (2022). That album included many new developments in the band’s evolution that earned them significant praise – most notably the Nick-Cave-featured 'Macca The Mutt', the surprisingly radio-friendly skronk of 'Fruits Of Labour', and the epic string-drenched beauty of 'Risky Behaviour'.
