Two of Australia’s most loved rock outfits, Slowly Slowly and Luca Brasi have teamed up for a limited edition split 7″ release with one track from each band. These are Slow Learner from Slowly Slowly, and Yossarian by Luca Brasi.
With pre-orders of the first allocation selling out in minutes last week, the official digital release is now available of each band’s new acoustic track. The bands announced pre-order vinyl/bundles – including exclusive t-shirt + bespoke specialty roasted coffee beans from Melbourne’s Padre Coffee – last Friday to an overwhelming sell out response.
On the new track ‘Yossarian’, Tyler explains:
“I’ve been on and off writing songs about the novel Catch 22 for years. Start a dumb idea, then stop. Big dreams of a concept album… one day. But for now, this tune is about Yossarian from the novel, and his outlook on life; as bleak or as sensible as you take it.”
On ‘Slow Learner’, Ben says:
“This song was recorded in about 15 minutes in my bedroom at home. It’s about giving from a place of emptiness and how it always ends badly. We added the cello by Eileen Sparks in the mixing process, just for a splash of colour.”
Fans can expect a further merch drop in the coming days + catch the new tracks from each band out digitally today via the link below.
