The Melbourne-rockers released a single with the news that their debut album, Hope Downs, will be out June 15 on Sub Pop. The single titled, “Talking Straight,” was also released with an album.
Joe White, singer-songwriter/guitarist for Rolling Blackout Coastal Fever, said of the song in a press release: “The concept came about when I heard someone talking about the possibility of us, humans, being alone in the universe, and how sad that would be. The idea in this song is that we might be lonely, but we could be lonely together.”
“Talking Straight” is the second release of 2018 and second release from the album, following the release of “Mainland.”
