  • Client Liaison Release Long-Awaited Debut Album Diplomatic Immunity  by Annabel Ross
    Client Liaison release long-awaited debut album Diplomatic Immunity By Annabel Ross It's here. Three years after Fairfax first interviewed Client Liaison, the Melbourne synth-pop duo's long-awaited debut album has arrived, and Diplomatic Immunity is every bit as ridiculous and glorious as their fans could hope for. Since sauntering onto the Australian music scene with breakthrough single End of the Earth in 2012, Monte Morgan and Harvey Miller have attracted a fawning following with their catchy songs, camp choreography, flamboyant costumes and poker-faced skewering of '80s Australian culture and excess. Client Liaison's Monte Morgan and Harvey Miller with their Mercedes limousine. Photo: Stefan Postles Put it on the company card. Too much is never enough. Think nothing. Feel everything. These are the rules for living according to Client Liaison, and so it is fitting they collect me for this interview in a white 1983 Mercedes stretch limousine. "I think there's a gap in the market," says keyboardist/producer Miller, sharing his plans to retrofit the limo, complete with a hot towelette machine and the 1984 Nintendo video game Duck Hunt, and rent it out. "There are these crass stretch Hummers, something someone like Donald Trump would jump out of, and people realise they want something more, that's where we come in, the off-white limo." It's hard to tell if he's joking; part of Client Liaison's appeal is their unwillingness to break the fourth wall. On stage, in their film clips and even during interviews, they are completely dedicated to upholding the Client Liaison narrative, one that sees them cast as louche Hawke- era diplomats living it up on the taxpayer's dollar.
