Eora/Sydney-based alt-rock shapeshifters RedHook are bringing saxophones to the circle pit on their joyous new release Breaking Up With – produced by Stevie Knight (Stand Atlantic) and mixed by James Paul Wisner (Underoath, Paramore).
Delivering infectious funk grooves and lashings of horns over their trademark heavy guitars, slick synth production and gargantuan singalong hooks, Breaking Up With is a party rock anthem about letting go of self-sabotaging thoughts and self-destructive behaviour.
Vocalist Emmy Mack talks about the inspiration behind Breaking Up With: “This song is pretty much the antithesis of our most popular single Bad Decisions. Rather than revelling in being a total piece of shit, this one is about breaking that cycle of self-hate, forgiving your past mistakes, and just deciding to be bloody kinder to yourself. Lyrically, it takes the piss out of break-up cliches to signify ending that toxic relationship (with, you know, yourself) and starting fresh. I hope everyone who vibed with Bad Decisions will also be shaking their hips in the moshpit to this one.”
