With a beat that evokes the pulse of an animal on the loose, Bec Sandridge’s latest single ‘Animal’ is futuristic art pop with a punk mentality.
Recorded at Melbourne’s Aviary studios with producer Oscar Dawson (Holy Holy) ‘Animal’ mashes gritty guitars with hard hitting disco hats, showcasing Sandridge’s impressive range from gleaming techno-punk-pop to a near torch song.
‘Animal’ follows on from, ’I’ll Never Want A BF’ – Sandridge’s most unapologetic and meatiest work to date. Added to triple j rotation, the track nods somewhat to the eighties, with Sandridge’s theatrical vocals spilling over the top of fuzzed out guitars, a gritty synth bass and hard hitting disco hi- hats. Produced by Burke Reid (Courtney Barnett, The Drones) at Melbourne’s Soundpark studios and mixed by Sandridge’s previous collaborator Tony Buchen (The Preatures).
Sandridge’s previous singles ‘In The Fog, In The Flame,’ ‘You’re A Fucking Joke’ and ‘High Tide’ all landed high rotation on triple j, 3RRR, FBi and community stations throughout Australia alongside international airplay in Europe.
2016 was a pivotal year for Bec – after winning the triple j Unearthed competition to play Yours and Owls Festival she signed to Wollongong label Farmer and the Owl to release her In The Fog EP. As well as play a myriad of shows supporting the likes of Montaigne and Cub Sport and nabbing festival slots at Festival Of The Sun, Fairgrounds and BIGSOUND.
At home on the stage, Sandridge has traversed the country in 2017 with tours alongside The Rubens, Highasakite, The Naked & Famous and Mitski. Also, appearances at Groovin The Moo, The Hills Are Alive, Big Pineapple Music Festival, Mountain Sounds Festival, The Plot and a welcome return to Yours & Owls Festival.
A nomadic pop/punk logomaniac, Bec Sandridge has a guitar swagger reminiscent of Prince, and the delivery of new wave icons like David Byrne.
