Based in Wollongong, south of Sydney, Pirra have released a driving new single ‘Limousine Lies’ that pelts along at an embracing pace with a synth spine and a haunting, melancholic vocal. There are echoes of eighties new wave and an M83 thrum throughout and even a hint of Lorde in the lyrics.

Of the single, singer Jess Beck says:

This one was a way of working through a time where we were all feeling a bit disillusioned. We just needed to poke fun at some of those delusions of grandeur that were popping up.

The result is an immensely satisfying dream pop delight:

You can get the single from the usual sources here or directly through the artist through the link below:

Limousine Lies is the band’s third release since signing with celebrated UK label Cr2 Records, through their imprint BLK&WHT.
