I know I’m a little late to the party, as Sly Withers just wrapped up their national tour. But have you heard their latest single, “Make My Mind Up”? I’ve got to check, because if it’s slipped under my radar it just might have escaped your attention. And trust me, this is the track you need for a little late afternoon adrenaline shot.
“The song is about feeling stuck, overwhelmed, and indecisive, but also about the desire to push through and improve,” co-frontman Sam Blitvich explained. “Wrestling with stagnation, needing a push, but still holding onto the belief that you’ll eventually break free and make it out the other side in one piece.”
Sam also explained that it’s the most collaborative song Sly Withers have released. “We used to write individually, but this one started with a vocal hook Fraser [Cringle, drums] came up with, and from there we built out the entire track together as a team. It’s been super exciting to see our writing process evolve and we can’t wait to share more of it.”
They might not have any confirmed shows on the horizon, but don’t fret Sly Withers fans. They’re putting the finished touches on a new album, which we should hear next April. So surely it’s only a matter of time before we see these Boorloo/Perth rockers on the road again.
