All three cuts are great. Wearing their bygone NY influences on their sleeves but given a personal twist, lovingly arranged and sounding totally relevant today - lovely stuff. Will drop a track on the show.
Favorite track: This Place.

The air is cleaner off the highway
The lines are eating you up
Attractive from the bypass
Time warped in the summer sun
The water falls in my mind
But only in stories for you
I wanna to show you the caves at low tide
But there's too much to do
I never told you
When we were younger
Gotta get there a little sooner
Attractive from the bridge
Time warped in the winter wind
And we can go far
See us driving by
I'll send a post card
From Gundagai
The lines are eating you up
And we can go far
See us driving by
I'll send a postcard
To Gundagai
And I can breathe a little better off the highway
And I can breathe a little better off the highway
Heard You're Doing Well
~ Dedicated to Nick ~
Unexpected
That's the way I like it
I should've called you back
I never meant to mess your mind
I was on holiday
I was on holiday
Hey I heard you
Are doing well
Hey I heard you
Are moving towns
Laura's making food
Anything you like
All I need from you
A measly old reply
I wish I knew you were down
I wish I could turn back time
Hey I heard you
Are doing well
Are doing well
Hey I heard you
Are moving towns
Are moving towns
I feel bad I feel bad
I feel sick I feel sick
I feel sad I feel sad
That you did that you did
That to yourself
Hey I heard you
Are doing well
Are doing well
Hey I heard you
Are moving towns
Are moving towns
This Place (Quiet Jacob)
It's not mine anymore
I'd be arrogant to say it was
It's the first time I thought
That I could see myself through the wall
Every street has a view
It's the town where you can see it all
But I need something new
Please see the good in the old
I need to be away to see this
It's all the same
I need to be away to see this
It's all the same
Do you think it could be safe
To jump without checking the depth
I can feel it in this place
Do you think they know that I'm out of step
I need to be away to see this
It's all the same
about
Drawing from the leftfield avant-pop of Arthur Russell and Talking Heads, progressive disco of Nile Rodgers and contemporary ambient electronica, Retiree channel these influences through their own pervasive aura of rum-drunk antipodean sunshine. The result is music that is in equal parts lush, thoughtful melody and meditative tropical rhythm.
The EP sees joint international release between Rhythm Section International and Plastic World - purveyors of southern hemisphere groove-driven underground pop (GL, Savoir).
Producer couple Local Suicide's debut LP is filled with moody technodisco and contributions from Lena Platanos, Theus Mago, and more. Bandcamp New & Notable May 26, 2022
