Four Gods formed in Brisbane in the late 1970s, led by Andrew Wilson (vocals/guitar), with Peter Morgan (guitar) and Keryn Henry (drums) as regular members. The band featured no bassist and played rather outlandish time signatures. Their single, ''Enchanted House / Restless'' (1981) was recorded at M2 Studios in Sydney and was the last release by the Able Label (AB007). The name Four Gods was inspired by lyrics from The Go-Betweens’ song ''Karen''. Four Gods were closely aligned with The Go-Betweens in other ways: Wilson admitted to being “heavily influenced” by them, especially Robert Forster’s guitar style, which Wilson claimed, “wasn’t very good when they started”. Two Go-Betweens members performed on ''Enchanted House / Restless'': Lindy Morrison filled in on drums for Henry who was unable to attend the session, and Grant McLennan played bass under the pseudonym ‘Candice’. Wilson also went to high school with Forster and shared a house with Clinton Walker. In 1999, Chapter Music reissued 4 Four God’s tracks on the album 'Amateurism', that also included recordings by Wilson’s later solo projects Frontier Scouts and Andrew Wilson And Associates. In 2015 US label Manufactured Recordings, a division of Omnian Music Group reissued the bands first single.
