Two-time WAMi award winner Timothy Nelson is one of Western Australia’s best kept secrets. With his band The Infidels, this indie singer-songwriter has played alongside Birds of Tokyo, Lior, Clare Bowditch, and Katie Noonan & The Captains.
But why should Western Australia have him all to itself? The Infidels have just released “Nothing’s in Tune,” the first single from the band’s forthcoming debut album. I’m really digging on this. It’s got elements of alt country and relaxed West Coast rock; it’s chilled but full of delightful hooks.
“I suppose my love of both The Shins and The Beatles really show on this song more so than my other influences,” Timothy explained. “Lyrically it keeps with the theme of unrequited love (as much as I hate having to say the term, there’s no way to say it without sounding like a wanker!) which the whole album is based around. This is more on the small-time paranoia side of things, which I think is what makes it somewhat unique on the album.”
Give it a listen here. If this is a sign of things to come from The Infidels, I can’t wait for that album to drop!
