William Drummond, the bassist for British India, is now making music under a new moniker Heartbeatz. His latest single “Heavyweight” is a really cool indie-rock track which brings the pub scene of Naarm/Melbourne to life with its vivid lyrics. I’m not sure when I last heard such a well-crafted song.
“This is my ode to hospitality,” William explained. “To the unbreakable friendships made, nights that seem to drag on forever and others that disappear in the blink of an eye. To the feelings of stagnation and yearning, to hot blooded heartbreak. To all the people who fight vehemently for us even when we are bringing them down.”
“Heavyweight” comes from the first Heartbeatz album Memory::Loss, which gets released on March 22.
