The End – Sounds of Oz

I didn’t immediately warm to Los Leo’s single “The End,” but after catching the Adelaide indie-pop artist with LANY recently, I’ve been converted. And just in time too, as Los Leo has just released the track’s film clip, which he recorded in a run-down motel in rural Victoria.

“Lighting was everything in this video clip, we had some great lighting rigs – especially in the dreamland bar scenes”, Los Leo explained. “This clip was shot over one huge day. I owe big credit to the crew for staying so sharp until we had finished. The semi-trailer truck that we had lined up pulled out an hour before we shot. Somehow our production designer Nick Wilton was able to persuade a truckie to lend us his truck at 10 pm at night”.

“The End” is available from all your favourite digital platforms now.

The time The Jezabels have spent in London seems to be time well spent, because the band are back with the single that I think is the best of their career. “The End” is the first track lifted from The Jezabels’ as yet untitled sophomore effort, and it shows a band with a newly discovered pop sensibility that hasn’t strayed too far from its roots.

Hayley Mary says the song is “about a time that I think we all reach at some point in our lives, where you are not sure you can go on, not sure that you have anything left to give. When you’re on your knees asking yourself, Is this the end? If you don’t ultimately want to say ‘yes’ to that question then you know you still have something to give, and you just have to get on with living.”

The Jezabels are now based in the United Kingdom, where they’ve just landed the plum role of support act for Depeche Mode’s arena shows in November. They haven’t forgotten us altogether though. The Jezabels will be back on homesoil to play St Jerome’s Laneway Festival next year.
