Long time favourites here at the antipodean outpost of Backseat Mafia, Jet City Sports Club craft the most bittersweet and shimmering pop songs around, and their new track ‘Sunny Morning’ continues their upward trajectory. As sparkling as the title is, there is a melancholy tremble to the vocals that sing of a deep yearning and romanticism:
Sunny morning
Rain was falling
I don’t want to wait
For you Now
Don’t let me down
This is blinding incandescent dream pop at its very best and reflects this magical band’s capacity to capture sunshine in every song.
The track is accompanied by a luscious seventies sun-bleached video, directed by Josh Fogarty and edited by Liam Jordan, that is infused with a sort of vintage sheen as the camera follows the band around in some bucolic Australian paradise.
‘Sunny Morning’ is out now and can be downloaded and streamed here.
It comes ahead of the release of the band’s new and second EP entitled ‘Every Single Dream’ due out on 28 March 2024 (and available to pre-save here). The band says of the EP:
The new EP is a collection of songs that are extensions of us, and the experiences being in this band has created. We named it ‘Every Single Dream’ as it’s a bit ambiguous, and people can attach their meaning to it when they’ve heard the songs and made their own relationship with the EP. It also has a sort of second meaning where we see this band as a vehicle to accomplish every single one of our dreams.
The band coming to the end of an extensive tour – details below.
