Words by Simon Russell-White
You know those songs that just stick to your eardrums like a top-rated super clue?
Now, let’s be honest, this can have a negative effect especially when it’s a tune/ song that simply frustrates you and is a song you don’t even like ahhhhh f*k……but, the science of music and the tempo just makes some stick hey?!!
Fortunately for us, certain bands just instinctively know how to create the opposite effect for the listener, which finally brings me to my (ranting) point. With their first release for 2023 Melbourne’s Spacegoat have proven yet again that they’re still here to further master their craft and do so with conviction and true blue hard work and wow, how it has paid off!
New single and video clip Earthquakes is almost on our intergalactic doorsteps (release date, February 8, 2023) so it was time to have another chat to the one and only Erin Eddy (singer) about the single and all things Spacegoat and of course, a whole lot more……
In the interview, it becomes very clear very quickly that I, the interviewer/reviewer, really felt the pulse and musical pull of Earthquakes. You see, I was privileged enough to be able to listen to it over and over and in my opinion this is up there with one of the band’s best ever releases to date!
That cannot be said lightly given the band’s discography with their blistering debut EP 33 (2019) and of
course the tremendous work that was Catharsis (2021) both being of a standard that could/should see them playing anywhere across this Great Southern Land and abroad.
But for now, it’s about the single release, and I seriously hope you all enjoy Earthquakes as much as I do. It has more hooks than a butcher shop and will pull at your heartstrings, but it wouldn’t be Spacegoat if it didn’t!
Listen to the full interview to find out more about this great song and even greater band.
Spacegoat will be launching Earthquakes at this special show with Victoria K, link below:
