Release Hourly, Daily

You Am I’s third album, Hourly, Daily was released in July 1996, was produced by the group and recorded at Q Sound Studios, Sydney in December 1995. They were assisted by engineers, Connolly and Paul McKercher , which appeared on Ra/rooArt and was distributed by Shock Records . According to Rogers “[it] was my first attempt at a song cycle.” McFarlane wrote that it is “another album of urgent, adventurous, unabashed pure pop.” Nimmervoll felt it was “a nostalgic journey musically, reflecting Tim Rogers’ love of The Sixties. Instead of reflecting his own life, Tim’s lyrics looked at the suburban lives of others.” Hourly, Daily also debuted at No. 1 on the ARIA Albums Charts, and is the first on the Shock Records label to do so upon launch. A limited edition was issued with a bonus disc of seven live tracks, Beat Party .
