Australian indie rock band Rum Jungle have unleashed the video for their latest single “Did The Morning Let You Down”.
Marking the first instalment of new music for 2024, this year’s set to be an explosive time for the band, with events already sold out in London, Bristol, and Manchester, as well as performances at The Great Escape, FOCUS in Wales, and A Stones Throw Festival in Newcastle. The release of the video also kicks off their UK/EU tour, full dates below.
On the back end of one of the biggest and most eventful years the band had seen, the four took their high spirits and bunkered down at Sonora Studios for a week—a holiday full of cheap barbecue lunches, scary cocktails, and intense late nights—with engineer Jack Nigro, to create an honest display of sonic melodies that reflect proudly the good spirits of the session. As a result, they released their latest single, showcasing the wonder and cohesion that the band embodies.
The band’s Benny says about the track:
“You’d be lying to yourself if there hasn’t been a morning in your life that you’ve not been stoked with the events of the night before or something’s weighing you down and that morning it hits you hard. Mistakes get made, shit goes wrong, everything’s tough for everyone in their own relative state. What this one is about though is pickin’ up and rollin’ on and understanding the world is the way it is, and finding that thing or person or reason to charge on with some sonic stability.“
‘It is with a huge amount of gratitude that we present to you all, a song in which we had the most fun we have ever had whilst recording’. Frazer added.
