Sydney’s own alt-rocker Tyne-James Organ has today released the upbeat and hopeful One Way Ticket, the third single in the lead up to his forthcoming sophomore album The Other Side on May 16.
The track invites the listener to witness a part of Organ that they may be unfamiliar with. Tapping on the shoulders of ARIA award-winning producer Chris Collins, the song was written and produced over a few days in Byron Bay’s hinterland.
“The creation process was just a whole mood,” Organ shared in a press release. “In the first day of putting One Way Ticket together we’d only fleshed out the bed of the arrangement and instrumentation. A few melodies and lyrics were swirling but nothing was popping. I knew it had an energy and I felt a stubbornness in myself when figuring the melodic side out,”
“After a few Guinnesses at the pub, I went back to my accom for the night, rolled a joint and put my headphones on. Then as I usually do, I just played the instrumental track over and over whilst dancing away until the melodies you hear now came to life. I recorded some voice memos and took them back to the studio the next day, spent some time workshopping lyrics and it was all there. “
Alongside the thrilling rush of All On Me and the tense rawness of Blue, One Way Ticket tells a story of contemplation and growing up, one which The Other Side provides more depth to.

“This album is a whole new me in a lot of ways,” he said. “I think I've matured since the first one…I don't write songs to dictate emotions and ways of being for anyone. I'm just sharing my stories. This album is pretty much chapter two of my life. I hope people find hope, through listening. I hope they find some comfort or some inspiration for their own journey. Then I’ll feel like I've done a good job.”
The song finds itself among the intimacy of its Nick Sullivan-directed video clip, which sees Organ coupled up, walking through the haziness and hue of an evening in Sydney city. From a footy field, to Chinatown, to karaoke, the video clip shows a night of innocent belligerence with your person, which speaks to the cheery nature of the song.
“We wanted it to feel like a laid-back day in the life of a relationship and the inner west of Sydney was the perfect backdrop,” said Sullivan. “Mixing up the camera formats allowed us to shoot these really nice candid moments, we could cut in with the more structured shots.”
While fans will have to wait a few more months to experience The Other Side in its entirety, you can get your Tyne-James Organ fix below with the One Way Ticket video clip. Pre-order the album here.
