Australian indie-rock sensations, Eliza & The Delusionals, drop their new track, “Sentimental.” The track, the first new music since the band’s March EP, A State of Living in An Objective Reality, is a nostalgic track with specks of 90s and early 00s rock.
The band co-wrote the song with award-winning Australian pop writer, Sarah Aarons (Cosmo’s Midnight, Childish Gambino), and American songwriter/producer, John Hill (WAFIA, Portugal. The Man), as well as producer/engineer, Dylan Adams (DMA’s, Skeggs, Troye Sivan).
The creation of the song came at a time when they were going through a significant chapter in their lives. Their single, “Just Exist,” had helped them break into the international market, and they found themselves touring in North America with Silversun Pickups, as well as radio success with the song being selected as Jeff Regan’s ‘Critical Cut’ on SiriusXM Alt Nation. They had an early impact in America, ensuring new tours, festival slots, but unfortunately, like most events in the music and entertainment industry, the plans were cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Despite this disappointing cancellation, Eliza & The Delusionals have been continuing to make new music, and with “Sentimental,” we’re beginning to hear some of the sessions spent creating their best material to-date.
“We’re super proud of this song, it’s one of our favorites to date. Kurt started playing some chords in a tuning he made on the tour bus. We knew we were going in for a writing session, so after coming up with a few ideas around the chords, we brought it into the studio with Sarah and John, and they really helped bring it to life. After having a few months of listening to the demo over and over, myself and Kurt added a bridge and the other parts before taking it into the studio with Ruby and Tex to record it.” – Eliza Klatt, Eliza & The Delusionals
