The lead singer and bassist for Australian psychedelic pop/rockers the Church, Steve Kilbey began a solo career with the 1986 Australian release of Unearthed. Initially, his solo work was more experimental and textured than the Church's relatively straightforward pop. As he continued to record sporadically as a solo artist throughout the '90s and early 2000s -- including 1990's Remindlessness, 1997's Narcosis Plus, 2003's Freaky Conclusions, and 2008's Painkiller -- he continued to release albums with the Church.
