Ball Park Music Release Vulnerable New Track ‘Like Love’

Brisbane indie-rockers Ball Park Music have taken a different approach with their vulnerable new track, Like Love. 

Released yesterday (October 24), the single features only an acoustic guitar to accompany frontman Sam Cromack’s raw vocals. Speaking on the importance of connection in a busy world, Like Love plays on the honest storytelling we’ve come to expect from Ball Park Music.

The track wasn’t hard to write, according to Cromack: “Like Love is one of those songs that comes out of nowhere. I was up late, nearly ready to call it, and it appeared. It seemed to write itself and feel so complete from the first moment. 

“Songs mostly don’t behave like this. This song is that little voice, the one that is quiet and true, trying to pierce through the screeching, forceful clamour of life to remind you of what really matters.”

Like Love’s release was accompanied by a minimalistic music video, depicting Cromack playing the song as the sun rises over the coastline behind him. Visually encapsulating the essence of the stripped-back track, the video cuts between Cromack and scenes of the band traipsing through gorgeous Australian nature, as waves crash behind them.

This release comes off the back of a massive co-headlining tour with Lime Cordiale, quashing the long-running fake beef between the bands.

Ball Park Music were also recently announced as the headliners for the 2024/25 Woodford Folk Festival, alongside North-East Arnhem land surf-rockers King Stingray, alternative powerhouse Tia Gostelow, and Yolngu rapper Baker Boy.
