Ceres Release New Single & Sign With Cooking Vinyl

If you took all the good bits from 90’s music, mixed it together with inner city boy tales and played those songs with endless enthusiasm then you would create the killer Melbourne indie pop rockers we know as Ceres.

 

Playing their way into signing with the Cooking Vinyl team, Ceres have just released their brand new single Happy In Your Head. Slow and relaxed this track is very drum and vocally driven at the start but as it flourishes these crazy catchy guitar notes wave and dance all around your ears.

Vocalist Tom Lanyon explains “Happy In Your Head is about finally realising you aren’t in someone’s life anymore. You’re just a memory in their head, and for some sick, sad reason – you are happy enough with that. That that’ll do. It’s the best you’ve got.” 

 

Alongside all this good news, Ceres has also announced their upcoming album ‘Drag It Down On You’ is set to be released on September 2nd this year. Written carefully over the past 2 years amidst tours, travel and personal growth, ‘Drag It Down On You’ was recorded across one crazy, long and emotional March. As longtime fans of Los Campesinos! the boys invited Tom Bromley along to famed Sing Sing Studios to produce the new album. Jumping on the engineering and mixing duties was Aaron Dobbs (The Avalanches, Stonefield), and the popular Alan Douches (Brand New, Cloud Nothings, Mono) of NYC’s West West Side mastered the album.

 

Tom Lanyon explains “Writing Drag It Down On You was a pretty cathartic experience for me. It’s definitely the darkest stuff I’ve got out into songs. I’m not sure if it’s just because I’m getting older, but there is a lot of death on this record, or at least the idea of death. A lot about people who are going, or gone, or want to be gone. Seemed like that’s what spilled out when I’d sit down to write. Oh and girls, it’s about girls too.”

 

In celebration the release of single Happy In Your Head, Ceres are holding a single launch show in Fitzroy next month so get in quick as tickets are very limited!
