Eaglemont Releases “Vodka Pineapple” Ahead of Cry Club Support

Eaglemont has offered up a tasty sample of her upcoming debut album with the release of her latest single “Vodka Pineapple.” It’s got an uplifting indie pop-rock vibe, but make sure you clock those confessional lyrics. They’re really something special.

“Vodka Pineapple’ is inspired by a painful realisation I had where I was the protagonist in the downfall of my relationships and it was all my fault… and then somehow we turned it into a pop song,” explained Bridg Jessop, the talent behind Eaglemont. “In line with the thread that runs through the entire record it’s a glorified diary entry that recounts events, often with haunting hindsight. Not that you should use creating art as therapy singularly (you should probably just go to therapy).”

Expect to hear a little bit more from her debut album and your old favourites when Eaglemont launches the single and supports Cry Club next month.

Cry Club Drops Indie-Pop Banger “Nine of Swords” Ahead of Album Release

Melbourne indie-pop act Cry Club are just about to drop their debut album God I’m Such a Mess. Before they do, the duo is giving us a taste of their new music with the release of single “Nine of Swords.”

This track is so much fun. It’s the kind of music that has you reaching for a hairbrush mic and bouncing around your bedroom, dancing like no one’s watching. Or maybe that’s just me? Either way, it’s such an upbeat ditty that celebrates overcoming personal anxieties and developing healthier coping mechanisms. Yay for that!

“I have a habit of running from the bad things happening in my life, ignoring them or blaming them on mercury retrograde,” explained vocalist Heather Riley. However, being so honest about her challenges might not have been the hardest thing about the single release.
“This entire single release has been a test of our creativity in lockdown. When it became clear we probably wouldn’t have access to a studio because of lockdown, we worked with our director, Jack (Alexander), to come up with a super DIY concept which we could shoot on an iPhone, and put it together with a little help from Spotlight and our housemates.”

God I’m Such a Mess drops on November 13. Until then, crank this one up and reach for that hairbrush!

Prepare to Fall for Cry Club’s “Two Hearts”

Wollongong-via-Melbourne duo Cry Club are back with single number three, “Two Hearts.” The band says it’s the closest thing they’ve written to a love song. I say it’s the best thing they’ve ever released.

“I’d come out of a relationship where I’d ignored so many red flags because I was so desperate for someone to love me! Which is not healthy,” vocalist Heather Riley explained of the song’s inspiration. “I think I was so scared of being alone that I didn’t care. That’s probably the core of the song: this kind of deranged loneliness that makes you so desperate and pathetic for a connection that you stop thinking rationally. You replay it in your head, create imaginary scenarios, think of all the ‘what-if’s – it’s exhausting!”

Cry Club have played big stages over the last 12 months, including the Yours and Owls Festival, Bigsound, and Laneway. Tomorrow night they’ll support Sweater Curse at The Grace Darling in Melbourne. If you’ve got tickets, make sure you turn up early for their set!
