Following the release of their anthemic new single Face of a Giant, The Electorate have today unveiled the accompanying video for the song – the first taster from the indie rock trio’s forthcoming 2nd album, Suitcase Is My Head.
Face of a Giant is the first new music from the band since their 2020 debut and 2SERfeature album, You Don’t Have Time To Stay Lost, which received a 4.5 star review from Rolling Stone.
Recorded, mixed and co-produced by Wayne Connolly (Teskey Brothers, Underground Lovers, Hoodoo Gurus, Babe Rainbow) at Hercules St studios in Sydney, and mastered by Jason Mitchell (PJ Harvey, XTC, Dry Cleaning), Face of a Giant is a hooky, metronomic and angular guitar groove, replete with a driving anthemic chorus that will have you leaning in or getting up on your feet.
Of the song, songwriter & bassist Eliot Fish says; “This is about having an ethereal connection – an entwined synchronicity with someone that you can’t explain… either that or alien abduction,”
“The song’s main riff, with my bass and Josh’s guitar pivoting on a simple octave came out of moment of weirdness in rehearsal and we almost wrote it entirely on the spot. It seemed to be beamed right to me and the words and melody fell out. Nick’s intensity with the drums sitting right in the pocket, shot it off into space.”
The members of The Electorate – Eliot Fish, Joshua Morris & Nick Kennedy – have all been part of the Australian music scene for a number of years, with ties to Big Heavy Stuff, Knievel, The Apartments, Imperial Broads and the Templebears. Invaluable experience that colours their sound and informs their astute musical choices.
Face of a Giant is out now on Bandcamp, streaming services and Amrap for our community radio friends across Australia.
