In the past, you may remember discovering Bakers Eddy through their songs being placed in our New Music Friday Playlists. The New Zealand band, formed in 2011, relocated to Australia and began developing their punk-leaning brand of rock and pop songwriting.
The group has a brand new EP called I’m Doing Better coming out on June 6th, and today we’re premiere the EP’s first single, “Dust On My Brain”. About the single, frontman Ciarann Babbington has said:
“”Dust on my brain” comes from a feeling of having the walls close in around you, and being trapped in self destructive cycles. I wasn’t sleeping. I wasn’t going out, seeing people. Just spinning myself out with negativity and stress and making bad coping decisions. I don’t tend to write songs when my mental health is struggling, but this one kind of poured out when I was at my lowest and It ended being the catalyst for change which I’m very grateful. It made me excited to make music, so most of the EP was written because of ‘Dust‘.”
The song is filled with the sleek sonics and face-punch drums that help it walk that tightrope between punk and radio-friendly rock. The vocals have the appropriate amount of snarl and melody, with perfectly-produced backing “yeah yeahs”. It’s an all-around bop that should play well blasting out during the summer months.
