[News] THE PRETTY LITTLES PREMIERE NEW SINGLE, ANNOUNCE DETAILS OF FORTHCOMING LP & HEADLINE TOUR DATES

The Pretty Littles - Tote Show July 2016-2

Melbourne’s cheeky rock rascals, The Pretty Littles have slipped a sneaky single past the keeper this week, releasing the follow up to their much-loved slow burn anthem, ‘Pride’. ‘Sleeping In Water’ is the 2nd single to be taken off the band’s forthcoming album and precedes a run of headlining tour dates this November.

Premiering on triple j’s Home and Hosed last night, ‘Sleeping In Water’ is another signature Pretty Littles gem, heartfelt and deeply unpretentious, it’s a brutally honest love song guised in lo-fi garage grunge.

The Littles, usually inclined to drip feed music and hit the road on a whim, record on occasion and tour sporadically, have been uncharacteristically regimented in 2016. The release of ‘Pride’ and it’s instantaneous uptake by FBI, 2SER, 4zzz and triple j precursored a partnership with 123 Agency and a tour with beloved rockers Delta Riggs this winter.

The Littles even found themselves in the thick of political controversy in June when their track ‘Sam’s Mob’ perfectly articulated what a large slab of the football world felt following Eddy McGuire’s distasteful comments about footy journalist Caroline Wilson.

LP Soft Rock For The Anxious will be the band’s third album, and the culmination of many months of intermittent writing and recording. Showcasing signature Pretty Littles lighthearted larrikinism, the album is not without it’s thoughtful moments though they are rarely acknowledged live on stage where the band are too busy geeing up a giddy audience to be particularly stern.

Audiences Australia-over will be privy to such a show later this year as the band take in Ballarat to Manly, Byron Bay and more on what is more than likely to be a debaucherous run of dates.
