Words: Sam Geary
Ahead of 'Beware Of The Dogs', the debut album from Stella Donnelly, out on March 8 via Secretly Canadian, the Australian singer-songwriter follows her 2017 EP 'Thrush Metal' with another track from the record, 'Tricks'.
The catchy jab at racist Australian pride and the absurdity of the music industry, its accompanying video, co-directed by Nick McKk and fellow Australian musician Julia Jacklin was shot in Melbourne.
“I wanted to have a dancer in the style of an Australia tap dog following Stella around Melbourne and trying to get her attention as she goes about her day. Is he real? Is he in her imagination? Not sure.“ says Jacklin.
“This song is a playful zoom-in on the ‘Australian Idenitity’ and a loose dig at the morons that used to yell sh*t at me when I played cover gigs on Sunday afternoons. It probably served me right for singing ‘Wonderwall’ every weekend,” adds Stella.
