“Postcode Lover”, the latest release from Dear Sunday, explores the intricate dynamics of long-distance relationships and the complexities of challenging romantic circumstances.“This song was written in Mason’s bedroom about a friend we had over. We started chatting about feelings as usual, and things came up about our friend’s relationship. So what better way to express the situation than to write a song about it?
Postcode Lover is a track written about having feelings for someone while being separated by distance but then realising how that distance can be one of the reasons why you were drawn in the first place. The idea of “wanting what you can’t have” or “not realising what you had until it’s gone” was a huge influence when writing the record. Often, we’ve found ourselves in situations where we feel comfortable with how things are, even if they aren’t ideal. This song highlights the struggle of pushing to improve the situation, whether to make it work or realise that it’s not working.
Our friends were all a big focus in this track. For the second half of the second verse, we used song names from our friend’s bands. We recorded this track at Tone City Records studio and didn’t have a few of the parts written yet. While we had some downtime, we were just spit-balling the idea of using our friend’s band track names, and somehow it all came together with a verse that made sense and fit the idea of the track.” says Ben and Mason from Dear Sunday.

References such as ‘I Roll The Dice’ honour DICE, the band mentioned earlier, while ‘Got a Little Guilt from a Few Drunk Texts’ nods to WA-based groups Little Guilt and Spici Water.
This highly anticipated track follows their successful stint as the supporting act for global indie-rock sensation DICE on their ‘Time Will Tell’ National Australian Tour. The band is embarking on an exciting tour along the East Coast in August. They will kick off their journey in Port Macquarie on Friday, the 18th of August, delivering an electrifying performance at Finnian’s Tavern. On the following day, Saturday the 19th of August, the band will make their way to Ryans Hotel in Thirroul, where they will captivate the audience once again. Their tour will culminate in Sydney on Sunday, the 20th of August, as they take the stage at the renowned Icebreakers Factory.
