Surprise Chef is Superb!
Episode 9
Tuesday, 25 November, 2025

In this episode Adrian and Leon dive deep into the lush, groove-driven world of Melbourne’s very own Surprise Chef, celebrating their brilliant new album 'Superb''. This record marks a turning point for the band — trading their usual meticulous production for something looser, more spontaneous, and full of unbridled joy. Across the conversation, we explore how tracks like “Bully Ball,” “Body Slam,” and the dreamy “Websites” blend jazz-funk, cinematic soul, and experimental textures, revealing a band confidently pushing their sound into energised, playful territory. As part of our Australian music spotlight series, we unpack why Surprise Chef’s 'Superb' feels like both a creative leap and a deeply soulful statement — and why it might just make them one of Australia’s most exciting contemporary instrumental acts.
