Australia's The Great Emu War Casualties today have shared the soaring new single "I'm a Yes Man", which is the band's first of the year (of many I hope too), and is the first release since "Flies In My Eyes".
2020 saw the trio release a solid amount of songs, in the form of two EP's and the aforementioned single. This new song was produced by none other than Alex Newport, a man who's produced an album for Bloc Party as well as helming production duties for Frank Turner and The Mars Volta.
I must say, Australia at the moment is revelling in great artists, and you can be damn sure to add The Great Emu War Casualties to that list of talent.
It's a bright track, with some tinkling of synths and keyboards in there for good measure, ensuring that no stone is unturned and the listener gets a full four tracks' worth of joy.
Speaking about the track vocalist Jackson mentions the following - "It's not about anything particularly tangible and it can (and should) be interpreted in whatever way you relate to it. I would say it’s about malaise, it’s about not feeling quite there, being disillusioned and restless. It’s basically about navigating adulthood in the 21st century – but pretty much all our songs are about that!"
"I'm A Yes Man" is out now and be sure to follow them on the socials as their new EP "Vanity Project" is going to drop on the 26th of February.
