This week’s feature album Do The Understanding is the fourth album by Ron S. Peno & The Superstitions.
Forming in 2009 Ron S. Peno & The Superstitions are stalwarts of the Australian music scene. Peno, who rose to fame in Australian alternative underground band Died Pretty, returns alongside The Superstitions; Cam Butler (solo artist, ex Silver Ray) on electric guitar, Mark Dawson (Black-Eyed Susans, ex Ed Kuepper) on drums, Tim Deane (Kim Volkman, Charlie Marshall) on keyboards, and Andy Papadopoulos (ex-Deborah Conway) on electric bass.
Four years (and one global pandemic) since the band released their Australian Music Prize-longlisted album Guiding Light elevated the band to new peaks of artistry, Ron S. Peno and The Superstitions return with Do the Understanding, a stunning new record born from connection and perseverance.
Thwarted by health issues in 2019 and of course more recently the Covid-19 pandemic, Ron’s enforced physical hiatus allowed him to delve deeply into his creative and collaborative resources. This renewed focus brought a new clarity to both song writing and voice.
Do The Understanding is out now. PBS members can tune in to the station all week for a chance to win a copy of the album.
