We are very proud to premiere the new single ‘Everything Is Temporary’ from The Valery Trails: a soaring jangly slice of power pop heaven that sets the heart beating with its euphoric delivery. It’s their first release since 2022’s ‘The Sky Is Blue’ (reviewed by me here) and absence certainly makes the heart grow fonder with the welcomed return of their indelible melodies and harmonies.
Intrinsic in the sound is the type of soaring melodies found in fellow Brisbane band The Saints’ in their later mellow phase or The Go-Betweens, with an anthemic blast redolent of the Flying Nun roster – The Bats and The Chills. And yet there is also something of a more new wave flavour like The Psychedelic Furs in singer Andrew Bower’s enigmatic delivery.
Bower says the track:
…mines the typical intro/retrospective preoccupations of the indie rocker of a certain age, while acknowledging the fundamental pointlessness of such musings.
It’s effervescent pop of the highest order:
The track is out tomorrow (Friday, 20 November) and will be available through all the usual download and streaming sites as well as the link below:
‘Everything Is Temporary’ comes from the upcoming album ‘Winter Palace’. You can catch the band launching the single on Sunday, 29 June at The Cave Inn, Brisbane.
