SOAKED OATS Sign to Dot Dash Announce new EP Sludge Pop Share new single ‘Coming Up’ Playing The Great Escape Announce AUS EP Tour

written by the partae May 1, 2019
SOAKED OATS Sign to Dot Dash Announce new EP Sludge Pop Share new single ‘Coming Up’ Playing The Great Escape Announce AUS EP Tour

Following the release of latest singles ‘Driftworld’ and ‘Shuggah Doom’, Dunedin’s indie sludge-pop rockers Soaked Oats have released new single ‘Coming Up.’ Their new EP Sludge Pop will be releasedFriday 14 June digitally and on delicious 10″ vinyl.

Catch the band tour and play songs from the new EP at The Great Escape next week in Brighton, May 9-11. Showcases are listed below. After blowing Brighton away, Soaked Oats will play a London show on Monday, May 13th at Servant Jazz Quarters. 

Today they also announce their signing to Australian record label Dot Dash. With label mates of high indie calibre as Methyl Ethel, Carla Geneve, Gabriella Cohen and Total Giovanni, this signing marks a huge career step for the band.

Originally formed as a label for Australian artists only, Dot Dash / Remote Control Records co-owner Harvey Saward commented on the addition of a New Zealand band to the roster, “In the fine tradition of Mother Goose’s Baked Bean song, Sharon O’Neil and the pavlova; it seemed only right for an Aussie label to claim another golden Kiwi as our own. Joking! Actually, we saw this band live and alongside the new recordings we believe these young chaps have amazing potential“.

The new single ‘Coming Up’ brings the wistful self-examinations within Soaked Oat’s lyrics to the fore, drawing the listener into a reflective, nostalgic soundscape. Paired with a video directed by Jake Munro, the flickering black-and-white film depicts the boy’s adventures during their travels in a 34 foot 1980’s R.V. they called home for their 10 week, 20 thousand mile, D.I.Y U.S. tour in 2018. The video transports us through both rural and suburban America. We witness caravan parks, waterfalls and underground gig venues, following the boys on their travels through the grainy lens of nostalgia and longing for a time now passed.

Speaking on new single ‘Coming Up’, lead singer/songwriter Oscar Mein says, “I had just written the first half of the lyrics as a poem. I was trying to personify a low morning in the immediate surroundings of a bedroom. Henry sent through a demo he had done titled ‘coming up from behind’, and I started playing around with applying the poem to the song while working within the title he had given it. I wrote the last few lines in a more positive headspace with Tom Bell at Chicks Hotel where we recorded it. Tom Healy added a bunch of nice stuff to this song, and it wouldn’t be what it is without him, especially that acoustic guitar that chimes through when we get grooving and the synth parts too, plus a lot of other tasty bits. The cover photo is an image I took of my close friend Louis. He’s a very talented poet who also writes about crappy mornings sometimes, often after he has just woken up.”

Oscar from the band shares the process of creating the video, “The footage was captured on mountains of rolls of super 16 and super 8mm film. Jake (Munro) and I retreated to a cabin on New Zealand’s wild west coast of the South Island and spent days trawling through it all to find the excerpts that fitted and established the progression found within the song. Jake threw the word ‘painstaking’ around to describe his experience of the process. We had a good time. The main destinations we see in the video are Virginia, Nashville, New Orleans, and NYC.”

To celebrate the release of Sludge Pop, Soaked Oats will be playing both Australian and New Zealand tours. Dates for these shows below.
