Sydney-based Dream Pop duo, EGOISM are set to release their third single, “What Are We Doing?” on the 9th August 2019. Through bittersweet lyrics, always-sweet harmonies, and a massive chorus, Scout Eastment and Olive Rush navigate growing up together, making peace through admitting imperfections, and taking things as they come.
“This song is literally about making music with eachother; but really it’s about letting out all the little worries you keep to yourself, and then taking a deep breath and realising ‘you and I, we don’t know what the fuck that we’re doing with this’. It can apply to our entire relationship, and to any relationship between two people really.” – Olive Rush (vocals/guitar)
EGOISM formed from the teenage connection of Scout Eastment and Olive Rush when their heated discussions about music became a drive to create something together. Introspective lyrics, pristine pop melodies, and Shoegaze-influenced guitar textures quickly became the duo’s distinctive sound as they cut their teeth in Sydney’s thriving inner-west scene playing house parties and local venues. In 2018, after years of packed DIY gigs and home recordings, EGOISM released their debut single “Sorry”. The sparkling and driving indie pop anti-gaslighting anthem landed the duo their first Triple j plays as well as high rotation on triple j Unearthed and Sydney’s FBi Radio.
After steadily gaining a reputation supporting bands such as Last Dinosaurs, I Know Leopard and Phantastic Ferniture, EGOISM began 2019 with their unmistakably assured follow up single “Enemies”. Self-recorded and produced in a single bedroom, “Enemies” is lush, catchy guitar pop at its best and an ode to existential dread and isolation. The single was quickly added to triple j rotation and garnered an ‘Independent Artist of the Week’ accolade from FBi radio.
What’s been said about previous singles –
