Aotearoa/New Zealand-born, Eora/Sydney-based artist Somber Hills is destined for big things. He’s just dropped his upbeat new single “YDS,” which celebrates being young, dumb, and stupid. If this doesn’t put a spring in your step today, I don’t know what will.
“Time moves so fast and the moments we love and cherish escape us so quick,” Somber Hills said. “Our motives and goals may stay the same but time will not wait, and if in a year you haven’t done enough to get where you’re trying to go, it’s gone, you’ll never get the time back. I had a painful year, but in the pain there’s learning and I learned that to truly enjoy what I’m doing I have to embrace who I am and not focus on what someone else thinks.”
Fresh from supporting Seth Sentry here in Oz, Somber Hills will play two shows in England with Jonny Craig next month. If you’re there, you can catch these awesome gigs at Bournemouth Live – Bear’s Bar & Venue on May 14 and The Underworld Camden on May 15.
