Melbourne pop duo Eli Dan give voice to the helplessness many Aussies feel with their new single “Treading Water.” While it wasn’t written about the bushfire crisis, the track perfectly echoes the sentiment in Australia right now.
While “Treading Water” comes from a place of heartache and struggle, there is also hope in these lyrics. After all, while you’re treading water your head is still above the surface. Keeping it up, digging deep into your resilience, keeps you alive. The song was inspired by the band’s struggles to make an impact in the competitive music industry. While it was recorded in singer Elisha Apurado’s home studio it has a big epic sound. And don’t her vocals give you chills?
Eli Dan will launch “Treading Water” at Kindred Studios in Yarraville on February 8.
