Single Focus: Great Aunt

Answered by: Chelsea Allen

Single title? Tell Me When It's Over/Oh, Cruel World

What's the song about? TMWIO is about people supporting each other in loss and tragedy, but being otherwise absent in life.

How long did it take to write/record? We pre-produced the two songs in a few weeks - one of the benefits of a home studio set up! But actual tracking time for each of the songs was just a few days.

Is this track from a forthcoming release/existing release? We're releasing this double single in the next three months, and following that up with an EP - or all things going smoothly, perhaps even an LP.

What was inspiring you during the song's writing and recording? We went to Megan's family home for some extra-quiet recording space - it was inspiring being surrounded by family mementos, and old instruments, etc. And her dad's scotch collection was excellent.

We'll like this song if we like... Gospel, Americana, blues. Or just stomping and clapping around the living room to soulful, mournful music meant to move you.

Do you play it differently live? The two songs are essentially as you'll hear them live! We encourage audiences to stomp and clap with us.

When and where is your launch/next gigs? 21 & 28 Apr, Compass Pizza, Brunswick East
