If you’re having problems shaking off that new working week funk, press play. “Nothing in This World,” the soulful new single from Wanderers, is the perfect song to put a smile back on your dial. Fittingly, lead singer Dusty Lee penned the track as he tried to shake off his own funk and creative dry spell.
“I felt that I was at a crossroads at the time, approaching 30 and realising that my old algorithms for distraction and excitement weren’t really working the same way they used to,” he admitted. “I wanted more, but not sure what, when or how. All I knew was that my old tricks weren’t serving me anymore. So I dove deep into this feeling, which actually brought me some sort of clarity.”
The pandemic has seen Wanderers stuck in their native South Australia for some time, but all that will change this month with the duo announcing some shows in Queensland. Catch them at all the venues listed below if you can! Stay tuned if you live in the rest of the country. Wanderers aim to play gigs all around Australia in 2022.
