Single Focus: Closet Straights

Answered by: Alex Lashlie

Single title? Eight Days

What's the song about? It's about my ma, and growing up in Bentleigh and being a general nuisance as a little kid. 

How long did it take to write/record? Took about 20 minutes to write, two hours to record and two days to mix...

Is this track from a forthcoming release/existing release? Yep. It is the second single that we have released off our debut LP which is due to be released real early 2016, inshallah...

What was inspiring you during the song's writing and recording? Well, obviously my mum. But I take experiences and feelings and try to describe them as best I can in my songs so it may have been a particular smell outside, maybe.

We'll like this song if we like... Atmospheric Australian pop music. 

Do you play it differently live? Nah, not really. Mind you, Jeff always has a different bunch of things he likes to play on guitar. He's a real off-hand kinda bloke!

When and where is your launch/next gig? We launch the single 14 Nov at Roxbury Hotel with legends Phantastic Fernature and Deep Space Super Groop.
