About this album

Sideways To New Italy is a sharp, melodic indie rock album that refines Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever’s gift for wiry guitar-pop. Released in 2020, it finds the Australian band tightening the interplay between jangling guitars, propulsive rhythm and literate, road-worn songwriting. The album broadened their reputation beyond the indie circuit, showing a group equally adept at urgency and melodic restraint. Across songs such as Falling Thunder and Cars In Space, the band turns everyday observation into vivid, hook-laden detail, balancing nervous energy with a distinctly sunlit feel. It stands as one of their most assured and fully realised records.

Genre: Pop & Rock
