Rebuild Repeat is the fourth studio album by Australian indie rock band Hockey Dad. It was released on 14 June 2024 via Farmer & the Owl. The album was preceded by three singles, "Still Have Room", "Base Camp" and "Safety Pin". It was supported by an Australian tour from June 2024.

Composition

[edit]

Their first new studio album in four years following Brain Candy in 2020, Hockey Dad said Rebuild Repeat follows a "muddy, hazy couple of years for [the band]", and that the title describes the process of making a new album – "You knock down what you had from the past, re-design, rebuild it and repeat."[2]

Release and promotion

[edit]

On 30 October 2023, Hockey Dad released the lead single "Still Have Room" alongside a music video filmed in Wollongong.[3] It was their first new song in over a year, following the standalone "T's to Cross" in mid-2022. In February 2024, amidst touring in the United States, the second single "Base Camp" was released.[4] The album's title and cover artwork was announced on 26 February 2024,[2] with a scheduled release date of 14 June 2024. They will tour across Australia from June 2024 in support of Rebuild Repeat.[5]
