Track Of The Day :: Seaside - Housewife

 


Words: Linn Branson 

We've always had a special warm spot at Little Indie for Byron Bay's Seaside. From 2018's 'Golden Girl' to the following year's 'Habits', the quartet always seem to inject just the right amount of shimmer and sass into the spin on all their work. 

Fast forward to 2023, and newly released single 'Housewife', produced by Tony Beliveau (The Crash Kings), follows on from earlier cut ‘We’re On Fire’. Recorded at Rockinghorse Studios, the song precedes a new EP, and indicates a bold new approach for the band.

Sharp and propulsive, 'Housewife' provides both plenty of post-punk resolve, tempered by Darcy Dexter's urgent vocal that keeps things buoyed up in a  jagged projectory for three minutes before closing out.

What's even better, is that they are currently forgoing an Oz winter for the delights of a British summer, and are on tour here in the UK for the next weeks with Ocean Alley. See dates below.
