Melbourne indie-pop act MOBS are preparing to play shows in North America and they’ve got a new single to celebrate. “I’ll Be Back” is pure pop pleasure, with ‘80s inspired orchestration and a finger-clicking chorus. Just don’t blame me if you’re humming it for the rest of the day.
“This is based on the character Kyle Reese coming back in time to protect Sarah Connor from the Terminator,” explained lead singer Jordan Clarey. “It’s about loving someone despite the space, time or distance between them. It’s still subtle enough to feel like a love song, while also giving props to the characters from the film.”
Fresh from playing shows in China, MOBS can’t wait to bring their brand of retro pop to American and Canadian audiences.
“The nostalgic pop sound that we have created is something that we have been working on for a long time and it’s amazing that we have the opportunity to take these songs overseas and showcase them to people on the other side of the world,” said bass player, Scott MacDougall.
