\"\"<\/a>Suburban Haze are proud to announce the release of their new single “Overhang”, the first taste of their forthcoming album Wilt which is set for release in August 2017.<\/p>\n

On “Overhang” Suburban Haze have created something truly unique by combining early 90s era grunge with 50s style beat music, effortlessly moving between the two to create an earworm of a track that is as dynamic as it is interesting.<\/p>\n

Like most great songs from the era in which it was inspired “Overhang” was written about drugs as Paul Graham from the band explains – “The song is mostly focused on the effects of MDMA with the first verse representing the high and the second the come down. Meanwhile, the choruses focus on the idea that you are essentially taking a loan of happiness when you take the drug that has to be paid back with interest.”<\/p>\n

To add to its diversity “Overhang” also features a guest verse from Ben Louttit front-man for the Newcastle post-hardcore legends Safe Hands. “Ben\u2019s feature helps ground the track in the present day despite the homages it pays to older genres.” Says Paul Graham of the collaboration.<\/p>\n

At various points “Overhang” draws to mind indie rock pioneers The Pixies through its kooky guitar work, The Smiths through the baritone main vocals, Thursday for its emotional intensity and even Alt-J for its unusual pop catchiness. This is Australian alternative music at its most unique and captivating.<\/p>\n
