DULCIE Drops Fabulous New Single, “Off By Heart”

DULCIE are back with another irresistible indie-pop banger, “Off By Heart.” It’s incredibly catchy, with sweet harmonies and empowering lyrics about moving on from the wrong relationship.

“There’s a fine line between giving someone another chance and finally calling it quits. ‘Off By Heart’ is about learning to stop ignoring the red flags and to put yourself first above all the excuses and false promises.” DULCIE said. “Ash (Carr-White) wrote the song around the phrase ‘Off By Heart’ with the intention of creating something emotive and relatable. It started out as a soft, slow piano ballad that eventually evolved into much more of a pop anthem! We tried recording it a few different ways but could never get it quite right; it wasn’t until our producer Konstantin Kersting messaged us, ‘I had a dream last night – and we need to completely redo the drum timing and tempo’ that we found the synth-infused, beat-driven direction we wanted to take. The contrast between the lyrics and production gives the song a feeling of empowerment and strength.”

Dulcie Serve Up Another Perfect Pop Bop With “Cold Hard Truth”

Dulcie are back with the sublime harmonies and catchy hooks that I can’t get enough of. “Cold Hard Truth” is another stellar single for the Boorloo/Perth pop act.

“‘Cold Hard Truth’ explores the frustration, insecurity and longing that comes from not knowing if someone feels the same way you do. It’s all about that waiting period, where you want them to make a move before you do!” explained the band’s lead vocalist and keyboardist, Ash Carr-White. “I originally wrote this song to be much slower and stripped back, but after workshopping it with the band and our producer it’s taken on a more punchy indie pop sound, which I love! We recorded it in my living room with Joel Quartermain and spent most of our time finding the perfect synth layers and midi sounds to bring it to life.”

Fresh from the back of supporting Amy Shark on her sold-out regional dates, Dulcie are ready to headline their own gigs. Catch them in the East Coast capitals before they return to the West this August.

4 August 2022 – Black Bear Lodge, Meeanjin/Brisbane (with Hollie Joy and Dizzy Days)
5 August 2022 – Waywards, Eora/Sydney (with 90ivy and Angela Rose)
6 August 2022 – Workers Club, Naarm/Melbourne (with Mvlholland and Harper Bloom)
12 August 2022 – The River House, Noongar Country/Margaret River (with Supathick, Siobhan Cotchin, and Mia June)

“Tell ur friends” About Dulcie’s New Single

It’s only early, but 2022 is shaping up to be a pretty exciting year for Western Australian trio Dulcie. They’ve just released a boppy new single “tell ur friends” and they’re currently touring the country with Ocean Alley. Life’s good for this talented trio!

The track is a collaboration between Dulcie and Polarheart’s Chris Chidiac. It celebrates self-worth, something we should all nurture whether we’re in a relationship or enjoying the single life.

“This song came about a bit like Frankenstein – with various bits and bobs picked from previous half-written songs and merged together with a song co-written with Chris Chidiac,” Dulcie explained. “It’s about that awkward ‘what are we’ phase in a relationship and the inner knowing of your own self-worth.”

Those Ocean Alley dates aren’t the only opportunities fans have to see Dulcie in the flesh. The trio can’t wait to get back in front of audiences.

“We’re so excited to be able to FINALLY hit the road and share our new music this February supporting Ocean Alley. It’s been 2 VERY LONG YEARS waiting for this tour to happen. Then we head out on our own headline tour in April! Feels like we’ve re-invented ourselves to a whole new level and can’t wait to show everyone what we’ve been working on and get back to playing across the country!”

18 February 2022 – Hordern Pavilion, Sydney (supporting Ocean Alley)
19 February 2022 – Hordern Pavilion, Sydney (supporting Ocean Alley)
