Award-winning Americana/Folk duo Minor Gold are back with Hair Hang Down, the second single from their highly anticipated sophomore album Way to the Sun (album out July 25, 2025). Listen to the single HERE.
“Mama, just wanna let my hair hang down” hits like a call for freedom, wrapped in a simple, powerful mantra – it’s real, it’s raw, and it’s relatable for anyone caught in a whirlwind of change. This genre-bending anthem combines elements of roots, folk/pop, and a Spanish street party vibe, creating a fresh and bold sound.
Following the success of Way to the Sun—the shimmering title track that earned high rotation across Australia and made its way onto multiple Spotify and Apple playlists—Hair Hang Down pushes the duo’s sound even further.
Recorded in Los Angeles with producer/engineer Dan Horne (Mapache, Beachwood Sparks, Circles Around the Sun), the track takes you on a surreal, cinematic journey, blending moments of melancholy and total freedom.
Parsons’ whimsical lead vocals take centre stage, while backing vocals from McNeil and her brother Logan on the choruses drive the theme home.
Even when life’s a struggle, Hair Hang Down proves there’s always room for some joy and release. It’s the kind of track that gets you moving while making you think—an easy escape with a deeper vibe that sticks.
Since their acclaimed 2023 debut, Minor Gold has captured audiences across Australia, North America, U.K, and Europe with their heartfelt songwriting and undeniable chemistry. Currently on a North American Spring Tour – taking in festivals and venues from coast to coast, Minor Gold are excited to return to Australia for a national album tour kicking off in September.
Hair Hang Down is out now via MGM Distribution.
Album Way To The Sun is out July 25, 2025.
