Sydney, Australia based rock band Dear Seattle have shared their bouncy new track, “Paranoid Letter,” out today. The song serves as the final single from their upcoming sophomore album, SOMEDAY, set for release September 2nd via Domestic La La. On “Paranoid Letter”, the band breeze through swirling guitars and relatable lyrics centered around putting pressure on yourself. Dear Seattle has also shared a live performance of the track, alongside singles "Feel The Weight” and "Way Out" filmed at Philter Brewing, which you can watch BELOW!
Speaking on how the song came together, vocalist Brae Fisher states:
“Written on a trip away back in 2020, Paranoid Letter is one of my favourites from the record as it feels deeply personal. The instrumentation is unlike anything DS has tried in the past, and the lyrics bounce around from first and second person in an almost disorienting fashion to try and give some insight into the headspace I was occupying at the time.
Deep in a haze of imposter syndrome and creative blockages, I found myself becoming increasingly paranoid that everything I had worked for would soon be pulled out from under me. Like people would suddenly decide my creative efforts weren’t relevant anymore. I had never applied so much negative pressure to myself before, and I was honestly just trying to find a way through it when the premise of this song came about.
It’s a letter I wrote to myself to help make sense of why I felt like it was all going to fall apart.”
Breaking onto the scene in 2017, Dear Seattle - Brae Fisher (vocals), Lachlan Simpson (guitar), Jeremy Baker (bass) and Josh McKay (drums) - have asserted themselves as one of Australia’s most exciting young rock acts. On their forthcoming album, SOMEDAY, Fisher explores the roots and tensions behind his unhealthy thought patterns and anxious tendencies as he desperately pursues personal change. Traveling in a more nuanced, subtle, and mature sonic path than previously heard from the band, SOMEDAY offers a deep listen rich with emotional insights and self-teaching. Recorded with renowned Australian music producer/sound engineer, Scott Horscroft (Silverchair, Dune Rats, Middle Kids), every track on the record hits as uplifting and anthemic.
