Trophy Eyes have shared a new track from their imminent fourth album.
Veering between bursts of hardcore and a shout-along chorus, People Like You arrives ahead of 'Suicide And Sunshine', due out via Hopeless Records this Friday (June 23). Vocalist John Floreani said:
"People Like You is a song about growing up poor in the rural New South Wales town of Mudgee while the school kids around him came from wealthy, well-adjusted families. It’s me reflecting, and also first-hand memories of what was happening, like they’re staring at the holes in my shoes, and the embarrassment and desire to belong, and not understanding why you don't. It’s like a protest against the idea of class and happy families."
On the record, which is all about contrast, offering themes of light and dark, beauty and tragedy, he added:
"It’s the human experience. What we experience and how we navigate it. The millions of tiny flashes of light that are memories and thoughts and feelings and smells, all those little moments make up a lifetime. They’re beautifully tragic because they don’t mean anything to anyone, and on the scale of everything in the universe don’t mean a damn thing. But it’s so beautiful that they happen in the first place."
Other singles on the Australian punks' follow-up to 2018's 'The American Dream' include Blue Eyed Boy and What Hurts The Most.
