‘EXPLAIN MYSELF’

September 04, 2020

Liberation Records are elated to share, ‘Explain Myself’, the new track from much-loved Melbourne based duo, Slum Sociable. 

‘Explain Myself’ is the first taste of the band’s newest EP, due for release later this year, and arrives teeming with infectious bass, wholesome house keys and an immense guitar riff.

These elements are united by Miller Upchurch’s distinct vocals, delivering an anthemic melody with astute lyrics. The release saw the duo recording in Sydney, where they paired up with Xavier Dunn (Jack River, CXLOE, Graace) for a track as effortless to listen to as it was to create.

“It came together really quickly. Hooky lyrics. Phat riff. What more could ya want?” 
– Ed, Slum Sociable

Watch ‘Explain Myself’

Premiered on triple j last night, ‘Explain Myself’ follows the release of EP L.I.F late 2019, featuring ‘Afterthought’, ‘Déjà Vu’ and ‘Life Is Free’. Slum Sociable have accumulated career streams of over 30 million across Apple Music and Spotify. Throughout the course of their musical journey, the band have also clocked radio spins on BBC Radio 1, Beats 1 and KCRW, and online love from Billboard, NYLON, CLASH, Earmilk, Indie Shuffle, Pilerats, Purple Sneakers and more. 

Slum Sociable continue to evolve their sound organically on ‘Explain Myself’, a standout moment from the duo. In a time where shows are inaccessible, the jubilant song leaves little to the imagination, conjuring images of hands high in the air and chant-along choruses in a festival crowd.
