Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever share first song in 4 years

"Australian quintet Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever are back with their first new music in four years, a six-minute travelogue titled "Sunburned in London" and written by Tom Russo, one of the band's three singer-guitarists. It was co-produced by Anna Laverty and RBCF's Joe White, and features backing vocals from Sophia Donnelly, Jan Donnelly, Sophie Ozard, Ullah Annert and Julia Wallace."

""As a band, we have always made songs about cities," Tom Russo says. "I was thinking about sensory overload and relentless beauty, and the creeping feeling in the streets that the party's winding up and the lights are about to come on." As usual, the band's unique guitar interplay is at the core of this one, and those backing vocals give things extra lift."

The recording was co-produced by Anna Laverty and RBCF's Joe White and features backing vocals from Sophia Donnelly, Jan Donnelly, Sophie Ozard, Ullah Annert and Julia Wallace. Thematic elements include sensory overload, relentless beauty and the creeping sense that a party is winding down and the lights are about to come on. The band's interlocking guitar work remains central and the backing vocals add extra lift. A studio version and a live performance are available. No confirmation has been given about whether the track previews a new album, and no live dates have been announced.
