How would you describe the vibe of your latest album, Life Admin?
Some songs are fast, some songs are more mid-tempo, some songs are upbeat, some songs not so much. There’s some emotional themes discussed, there’s some nonsense, some distortion in parts, some mistakes, even some organ at one point. It’s a mixed bag.
Opening track Moving To Melbourne feels like a very tongue-in-cheek look at that desire to uproot ourselves and the fallacy that we can leave all our worries behind in one swift motion. Does this come from a personal experience?
That sums it up better than I could. It’s a little empty-threat from living in Sydney, “Everything’s gone bad, I’ll move to Melbourne and start again”. Almost like a game, to find out how bad can it get before taking that well-worn path down the Hume. I actually don’t mind living in Sydney, it’s a half-truth I guess.
Unity Floors have been playing music together since 2010. Have you noticed the way that you perform and write together evolve over time?
We’ve got a better idea of what we’re doing now, those few first years were spent jamming out at home trying to work out how you play together and hopefully we’ve got a little better at that.
