about

Hey, thanks for reading this.

‘One Day’ was the last song we wrote and recorded before lockdown. It came together at the tail end of 2019 when we finished some summer shows around Europe. On my final day travelling we tracked the piano at Almeida Theatre’s rehearsal room in London, and then recorded the vocals in Brisbane and the rest of the instrumentation in Sydney between Dec-Jan when Ryan was visiting family and playing some Saint-Léon shows in Australia.

To be honest, life was shambolic with a lot of traumatic events circling before COVID-19 hit, so the breezy nature of the song became a balm that as time continued into a corona-unknown, it felt like the best time to put it out. It’s a simple message - it’s about love, it’s about moving through grey, and it’s about our undying fandom for Tears for Fears. We jokingly refer to it as our ‘Bondi workout tune’.

The covid seal cam visualiser is some aquarium footage that I sometimes watch on my camcorder to relax, we hope you find it a nice accompaniment to our song too.

We’ve recorded ~20 songs since the coronavirus, so we’re working our way toward an album with our friend/mixer/3rd member Jonboy Rock. He mixed the track, its mastered by Carl Saff, and the video is by our French friends the Lubois Brothers.

Stay safe,
Alister
