I must admit, I’ve been a bit non-plussed by the music in my inbox of late. I’m not sure whether all this COVID-19 talk has me feeling deflated, or the right tunes haven’t reached me, but it’s taking a lot to inspire me right now. Thank god for Brisbane band, The Rockefeller Frequency who managed to break through my funk and wake me up with their latest single “Good Apples.”
It’s ridiculously catchy, a bit quirky, and just all-round marvellous. If early Thirsty Merc and The Strokes had a baby, it might sound something like this. It should get you moving and grooving, which when you’re stuck at home is a very good thing.
“The new single ‘Good Apples’ is a redemptive tale that starts in a very dark place, with a protagonist that has basically given up on everything,” explained frontman Joshua Eckersley. “He contemplates his endless mistakes and somehow figures out how his life could be worth living, and actively seeks it out. It’s not all bad in the end, which helps in relaying these types of stories. It’s positive, but you have to work through a lot of garbage to get there, just like real life.”
If you’re digging “Good Apples,” make sure you wrap your ears around the rest of tunes on The Rockefeller Frequency’s new album, Chemicals. You’ll find it on all your favourite streaming services now.
