Originally from Aotearoa/New Zealand, indie-pop Foley are now based in Australia and bringing plenty of sunshine to break through the gloom with their latest single “Time Of My Life.” It’s such a catchy, feel-good track I’m sure you’ll be grinning ear-to-ear by the time the first chorus kicks in.
“We are so confident now in what Foley’s sound is after releasing our first album … ‘Time Of My Life’ is a pivotal part of that because it’s so joyous, so unapologetic, and so genuinely aspirational,” the twosome explained. “The song starts from a place of wanting more for yourself that the mundane day to day life you are living. It’s truly born from ambition and dreaming of a ferociously chaotic and AWAKE life.
“We wanted to lean into a feeling of need and desperation for some excitement – which led to a lot of quite dramatic lyrics like, ‘At the end of the night, I kind of feel like I’m dying,’ talking about being stuck in your hometown at the same old party with the same old people, being pleasant to everyone but inside absolutely screaming to leave.
“The song is a craving for new memories, new stories, and letting yourself be free to make mistakes and learn from them. The production is just as chaotic and loose as the song’s meaning which was such a pleasure to work on. Josh Naley, our wonderful producer, absolutely let it rip and made the song such a joy to listen to and play because it feels so free.”
I hear there’s plenty more new music on the way, so it’s time to jump on the Foley train!
