Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever release ‘Falling Thunder’
It’s the latest from their upcoming album ‘Sideways To New Italy’.
With their new album ‘Sideways To New Italy’ set to land on 5th June, Melbourne’s Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever have share their brand new track ‘Falling Thunder’.
In the words of the band’s Tom Russo, the song is “about pushing on through the relentless march of time, against the constant cycle of seasons. And the way people change and relationships change. It’s set in that time when autumn is turning into winter and the trees are getting bare.”
Accompanied by a video shot by Jamieson Moore, which includes holiday footage from Sicily, Sardinia and the Aeolian Islands, Tom continues, “Our friend Jamieson Moore shot the footage of Sicily, Sardinia and the Aeolian Islands on her phone while on vacation last year. The Aeolian Islands is also where my and Joe Russo’s ancestors are from. We were also planning to shoot the band playing in Eolian Hall in Melbourne (it’s a community hall founded by Aeolian immigrants). We got some practice footage but by the time it came to shoot the band, we were on lockdown. So it’s turned out as a kind of a love letter to a particular place.”
