Eora/Sydney-based indie-pop trio Loretta have just revealed East Coast tour dates and their stunning new single ‘Dad’s Mercedes’ – produced by band member Nico Scali (Guitar/Keys), mixed by Jarryd Shuker (Hein Cooper, Art of Sleeping, Future Jr.) and mastered by Steve Smart (Flume, Ocean Alley, Empire of the Sun).
Driven by its resolute rhythmic section and stadia-esque production, ‘Dad’s Mercedes’ is a compelling slice of infectious indie-rock; shining brightly with a myriad of hook-laden melodies.
As the track effortlessly unfolds, front man Ellis Hall’s vocals glide elegantly above layers of deftly composed instrumentation, to deliver on a stunningly arranged piece that explores feelings of young love, and the excitement that accompanies it.
The band describe the motivation behind the track:
"Lyrically, this one came from a time in our lives when we felt like love had lower stakes. Exploring the narrative of two young lovers chasing after one another, in a place where you may be ready for love and relationships and all that comes with it; but one of you can't quite commit, both being fully aware of each other's feelings. It comes from a happy place where nothing feels like it needs to be too serious. We made sure to capture that feeling sonically; it needed to feel youthful."
To coincide with the release, the band will traverse the East Coast performing seven shows, including stops in Gunaikurnai/San Remo, Naarm/Melbourne, Awabakal/Newcastle, Tharawal/Wollongong, Meanjin/Brisbane, Eora/Sydney, and Wiradjuri/Bathurst for Vanfest. They’ve previously shared stages with the likes of COTERIE and Thundamentals, and sold-out multiple headline shows at Oxford Art Factory, The Lansdowne and The Beresford.
