Diplomatic Immunity

Diplomatic Immunity is the debut studio album by Australian indie pop duo Client Liaison, released independently and exclusively in Australia on 4 November 2016. It was eventually re-released worldwide and onto digital streaming platforms on 17 November 2017. Background Since entering the Australian music scene with breakthrough single "End of the Earth" in 2012, Monte Morgan and Harvey Miller (aka Client Liaison) have attracted a fawning following with their catchy songs, camp choreography, flamboyant costumes and poker-faced skewering of 1980s Australian culture and excess. The group released a self-titled extended play in 2014 and have continued to perform live. In an interview with Cameron Adams from the Herald Sun, Client Liaison explained why they think their genuine love of 1980s and early 1990s music may make some feel they're less credible or serious. "Why don't people who are into rock music [...] get asked what it is about those decades they're so interested in? No one ever questions why people make rock music. We feel the same way about the eras we take from, the '80s and early '90s, where our interests in music were born, those synthesisers and palettes of sound. And why is it not a gimmick to wear tight rocker jeans and a rockabilly hat but it is to wear acid wash jeans and a suit? I'd argue those people are further stuck in the past than we are." Reception
