Strap yourselves in for an incredibly relatable track.  Lottie Liams is a Melbourne Based, self described indie-pop artist. She's played with Middle Kids, Ruby Fields and Ukulele Death Squad and is looking to expand her act to include a full band- and my gosh, this song is a cracker of a way to start!

Figures’ debut album, ‘Operating In Unsafe Mode,’ delves into themes of “...dehumanisation, isolation, oppression and mass media manipulation.” Having previously released two EPs and one single, the five-piece from Melbourne, Victoria, are no strangers to exploring political issues.

From start to finish, the brilliantly written & mixed tracks build perfectly throughout the EP, gradually introducing more and more nods to heavy influences as it plays through. Personally, I just really love the whole record. I struggled writing this up because I just wanted to listen and listen and listen, and that was it.

I legitimately hit my head on the wall behind me when bopping back and forth to the intense and emotional tunes - so yeah, it’s a literal banger.

Overall the track is a solid step in the band’s personal sound and style development, with influential nods to IDLES and Lazertits and great clear instrumental and vocal sound recording quality, especially notic…

The single itself opens with nostalgic lines, depicting the ever-familiar scene of sitting in the backseat of a car, the sun coming through the windows and ‘the sound of talkback radio sinkin’ in’ - we’re back to pretending we’re in a dramatic music video watching the world go by outside.
