Sydney’s BOBBY UNCLE shares new track ‘THE WAY YOU STAND’ from debut EP MIMES MISS THE BEACH
Continuing to delight with his own brand of indie-pop sounds, Sydney songwriter and performer Bobby Uncle has returned with a new single titled ‘The Way You Stand’.
Taken from the artist’s forthcoming debut EP Mimes Miss The Beach, ‘The Way You Stand’ serves as a great gateway into Bobby Uncle’s songwriting style, and the evolution of his soundscapes as we head into the end of the year. Leaning into ‘80s synth and ‘70s guitar-rock influences, ‘The Way You Stand’ encompasses the intoxicating feeling one gets when they come across someone who completely mesmerises them.
Following on from tracks including ‘February (I Know)’, ‘Tragedy Delight’ and ‘Coffee’, ‘The Way You Stand’ is a fun and immersive release from Bobby Uncle that provides cool insight into the rest of the EP project.
“I thought to myself, what is a silly characteristic about someone that makes them so special and in a league of their own, compared to everyone else? I thought, well obviously, the way they stand. I mean, who compliments someone by the way they stand? Yet, if you think about it, the way someone stands can really make them stand out from a crowd. Just look at supermodels and the way they stand on the billboards, or a Hollywood superstar in a movie. You can point them out even if they are walking with a stream of people. Nonetheless, the song is meant to be fun, energetic and to capture that good feeling of a summer love, hence why the lyrics are quite playful.” BOBBY UNCLE
‘The Way I Stand’ was recorded in Neutral Bay, Sydney, at Bobby Uncle’s home studio. The beginnings of the song were coming together in December 2023, though he only returned to it in September 2024 to finish it off into the bright final result we hear today.
Bobby Uncle has been on a strong upwards trajectory since emerging back in 2021 – with significant support from radio and editorial outlets alike. Previous single’s ‘Summertime (Make It Happen)’ and ‘Coffee’ both saw heavy airplay on stations such as triple J, triple J Unearthed, iHeart Radio, SYN and 4ZZZ; and have been praised by tastemakers such as Rolling Stone Australia, Scenestr, Frankie Magazine and AAA Backstage upon release.
PRAISE
“Sydney’s Bobby Uncle has brewed up “Coffee” – a fun pop single about sleepless nights over a crush who doesn’t feel the same way.”
ROLLING STONE AUSTRALIA (‘Coffee’, 2024)
“Bobby Uncle reels you in with luscious melodies and an upbeat tone – loving this new one <3”
TRIPLE J UNEARTHED, ANIKA LUNA (‘Coffee’, 2024)
“Your voice goes in some really interesting and unexpected places here. Bring on that EP!”
TRIPLE J, ABBY BUTLER (‘Summertime (Make It Happen)’, 2024)
“‘Coffee’ weaves through many different moods and tones throughout its runtime – creating a consistently compelling listen, filled to the brim with catchy ear worms that are sure to stick around long after the song has finished.”
THE ROCKPIT (‘Coffee’, 2024)
“Here, whirring synths accompany Uncle’s voice, which on the chorus becomes distorted with a hazy vocoder flair. Pulling together such eclectic sounds, Uncle coalesces the track around an insatiable, ever-catchy rhythm, and some truly earwormy refrains.”
