Sydney band Locked in Lummo prove they’re no one-trick ponies with the release of their sophomore single “Main Thing.” Just like the band’s debut “Two Shoes,” this track is super catchy with irresistibly warm vocals from Hayden Smith. The four-piece insists “raw emotion” is their fifth member, and listening to the way this track builds I can’t dispute it.
“‘Main Thing’ was written from the perspective of my girlfriend as she arrives to my house feeling like I’ve been treating her like a chore and not making any space in my schedule for her. Highlighted by the lyric ‘If the screen door’s left shut, this is on, this is it,’” Hayden explained. “She’s taken it, as I haven’t even left enough time to make sure the screen door is open for her to let herself in and she will be literally left outside in the cold as I’m too busy doing other things to run to the door straight away. As I realise my actions, even though not meant to be hurtful, can still cause REAL hurt.”
I am so into everything these guys release. While it frustrates me that opportunities to see bands like this are few and far between, the music coming from Locked in Lummo is a great reminder of what awaits us when this pandemic is over. Until then, crank this one up.
