Good things come in threes, as evident by the latest dreamy single from Brisbane outfit Holiday Party.

After carving their path with I’m Still Here and Dream State in recent months, the duo has locked into an awesome junkyard-pop stride with new cut Run Away.

“Some of Holiday Party’s music is built using samples that have been stored away for years,” singer Mel Tickle explained.

“Sometimes they’re old synth lines or drum samples that we’ve found on old hard drives, or voice memos on iPhones, and given a new life.

“The first part of Run Away comes from an old session that Luke built into a playable sample, and the song developed from there.”

A national tour and album are expected next year, but in the meantime, check out Run Away below.
