Eora/Sydney-based indie act The Sunday Estate have just dropped their latest single “London in October,” and it’s exactly the pick-me-up your midweek needs. It’s got a really upbeat vibe, but tap into those lyrics and you’ll hear the fun sound masks some pretty deep heartache.
“This tries to capture the chaotic and turbulent spirit of a long-term relationship breakup – all the tiny ways your life would change, and how dichotic the decision can feel,” explained lead vocalist Conor O’Reilly. “Do you delete photos you had of them online? Do you get to keep shared friends? Whose narrative will everyone believe? Did you make the right call? Was it all a waste of time?”
The Sunday Estate had a massive 2023, playing 18 dates with The Rions and gigs with Yard Act and British India. They’re currently on the road again supporting the release of “London in October.” Catch them headlining one of the following shows:
28 June 2024 – Gasometer (upstairs), Naarm/Melbourne
26 July 2024 – Oxford Art Factory (Gallery), Eora/Sydney
3 August 2024 – Velvet Underground, Tarntanya/Adelaide
