Trophy Eyes are back with their first taste of new music in two years with brand new single “27“. The track which aims to blend their influences together in a new wave rock sound, comes with a a visualizer which can be viewed below.
Lead singer and songwriter, John Floreani, shares on today’s release “27 Club is an expression of my self loathing, imposter syndrome and my disdain for being alive in general. I’ve done my best to numb those feelings by self medicating most of my adult life- not passively but as an aggressive form of self-punishment. The song centres around one particular night, sometime in 2018, that I’d finally passed out on my back and began choking on my vomit. The person that woke me saved my life that night, but instead of feeling grateful and happy to be alive, all I felt was genuine resentment. Resentment for interrupting what I’ve never been brave enough to do from happening naturally. ”
Trophy Eyes released The American Dream two years ago and was the band’s last full body of work. Prior to that the high acclaimed Chemical Miracle was released in 2016, the album which solidified the Australian band’s place on the alt rock scene.
