Release Notes:
Simon Okely is lost in time. Or at least, his songs sound that way: warm,
near-whispered indie-rock love letters to the 60s and 70s rhythm and blues
records his parents would play on family car rides down AustraliaÆs winding west
coast, heavy on nostalgia and even heavier on imagination. ôI try not to be too
caught up in trends and whatÆs popular in music now and just focus in on my
passions, my influences,ö grins the Melbourne songwriter better known as Slow
Dancer, whose 2014 debut Surrender was a melt-your-heart, Fleetwood
Mac-with-Neil Young licks ôpop postcardö from another time, another place.
Returning in 2017 with new single æDonÆt BelieveÆ and a new album, In A Mood,
due in June on ATO Records, Okely is aiming even higher on his new material,
featuring a ômore expansive, more ambitiousö sound thatÆs ôless about the
stories we tell ourselves when in love and more about the moods that can come
creeping over a relationshipö at any time. ôItÆs a little more tasteful,
involving new instruments, like drum machines and strings,ö says the
31-year-old, whose lush tales of new romance, awkward courting and ôscraggly,
mangy love thatÆs fading and waningö have been striking a chord with fans of Mac
DeMarco, Tobias Jesso Jr, Connan Mockasin and more.
ôCome as simple as the sun and as steady as a breath,ö sings Okely on melancholy
new single æDonÆt BelieveÆ over a smooth, slow groove, tremolo chimes of guitar
and heartbreaking strings. ôLet the evening come undone, and the thoughtful take
a rest,ö he sings on the track. His ambition with this new batch of songs and
next chapter as Slow Dancer is similarly simple. ôThis has always been my
journal, my love letter to the music I love. My concentration will always be on
making the music that pleases me, and if it pleases other people too, thatÆs
also great. ItÆs been a wonderful ride so far.ö
Simon Okely is lost in time. You should get lost in time with him.
