Australia’s electronic titans SLUMBERJACK share the next taste of the forthcoming album ‘Dichotomy’, fusing progressive bass production with the vulnerable vocals of Sydney’s Lucy Lucy for their release ‘Better Off’. With an aptitude for versatile production, this latest offering provides the latest glimpse into what will be a multifaceted debut LP release, befitting of the name ‘Dichotomy’, which is available for pre-order now. The album, slated for release via Sweat It Out on 21st January 2022, is set to be a defining moment for SLUMBERJACK whose wealth of technical fluidity and awe-inspiring live shows have helped them evolve into one of Australia’s leading electronic acts over the last near-decade. Available to pre-save here.

‘Better Off’ exhibits the enigmatic production that SLUMBERJACK has refined and perfected over the past decade, exploring darker, brooding elements of electronic pop. The duo melt together atmospheric beats with the riveting raspiness of Lucy Lucy’s emotive hooks, centred around that pertinent feeling of attempting, yet failing, to forget someone who was a meaningful presence in one’s life. This next instalment of the ‘Dichotomy’ story once again illustrates SLUMBERJACK at their creative best when in collaboration with local talent, a constant theme throughout the upcoming album.

The duo discussed implementing pop tendencies into the trademark SLUMBERJACK sound, saying, “We’re constantly exploring further and further down the path of pop music but never want to lose the rawness and original essence that was the driving force for the SLUMBERJACK sound. ‘Better Off’ is us pushing that line; starting with something super poppy and roughening the edges until it feels right.

On how ‘Better Off’ fits into the context of the upcoming album, SLUMBERJACK said, “You can hear the Doshpuluur, a Tuvan lute, throughout the record which is reminiscent of the Oud we used at the beginning of ‘Fracture’. And of course, the whole goal of the Dichotomy album is to shine a light on juxtapositions, so the dark sounds are set against big luscious chords and beautiful vocals from Lucy Lucy.”
