It's like The Strokes had a baby with MGMT, and asked Alex Turner (Arctic Monkeys) to be its godfather. Welcome to the musical noodlings of Brisbane singer-songwriter Sometime Sonny.
With an infectious blend of dreamy indie rock, Sometime Sonny's newest creation is the single 'Surgeons'. "I wrote 'Surgeons' after coming home from a house party on the Gold Coast," Sometime Sonny aka Dave Campbell says.
"I was expecting the usual laid-back surfer vibe where I would be in my element having a couple of beers and some nice chats. But I didn't realise most of these mates were starting to get into some harder drugs.
"Although I was tempted to give it a go, something held me back. With everyone having similar experiences that I couldn't get on their level for, it was a sad and strange feeling to realise that perhaps I didn't fit in with these mates anymore.
"I'm looking forward to the day when we can go back to surfing and having some good chats over beers."
Today, scenestr is able to premiere the accompanying music video for 'Surgeons'.
'Surgeons' is also a precursor to Sometime Sonny's debut album 'Thanks A Million' - out this Friday (16 November).
"Although most artists aim for consistency/ fluency on a record, often by recording each song in a block of recording days, I was hoping to capture unique stories, emotions and sounds from separate events throughout the year," Sometime Sonny says.
"To achieve this, every song was recorded shortly after it was written (often months from one recording to another). I think this gives the album a lot of character and mixes things up for anyone listening.
"It acts as my own personal diary for the year and all the memories it recounts are super special to me."
