Middle Kids share new single ‘Salt Eyes’

Australian band members Hannah Joy, Harry Day and Tim Fitz – aka Middle Kids – have shared brand new track ‘Salt Eyes’. The Australian band released their debut album ‘Lost Friends’ back in May but they’ve already shared the new non-album track.

Of the track, Hannah explains: “‘Salt Eyes’ is when you get those red-dry-eyes after a big cry. Sometimes we try to live large but actually it makes us feel small. ‘Salt Eyes’ is what we get when we’re searching for freedom but haven’t found it yet.”

Middle Kids are due to support Bloc Party on their upcoming Silent Alarm tour, before heading out on their own UK tour in November.

Middle Kids’ indie rock gem ‘Lost Friends’ is out today

After taking the world by storm fresh off the back of their self-titled debut EP in 2017, Middle Kids have dropped their stunning, highly anticipated debut full length Lost Friends.

The band have spent the last few months drumming up hype in the US, winning over crowds with their soaring sound on the stages of Jimmy Kimmel and headline sets across the country.

Lost Friends is Middle Kids cementing their status as total indie-rock trailblazers – it’s the perfect melding of dream pop and soft rock, a combination pulled off with aplomb that showcases both a burning wisdom and youthful jubilance in their songwriting. Tracks like ‘Maryland’ and ‘Don’t Be Hiding’ prove the band’s knack for impeccable, subtle yet emotionally driven songwriting – think Fleetwood Mac meets Alvvays, it’s a modern take on classic tropes that have soundtracked many life-milestones for years. The guitar tones are warm and sentimental, frontwoman Hannah Joy’s vocal performance is powerfully vulnerable, all culminating in a radiant feast.

Joy stated last month that the album revolves around the themes of “hope and love”, coming in abundance on Lost Friends. 

“In a time where a lot of division is growing, we want to be part of the conversation that unites people around certain ideas that are universal, like hope and love.”

“Bought It” is another extremely promising track from the debut album release of Middle Kids long player, Lost Friends. We have already heard earlier tracks “Mistake” and “On My Knees,” and now the Sydney indie rockers have given us a pleasing dose of chugging twilight guitar-pop. You can check it out below,

If you’ve been fanging for some Middle Kids action then crave no more because the band have gone and unleashed a ripper live video for their tune “Mistake”.

Filmed at Sydney’s Golden Retriever Studio, the video shows the trio in their element with lead singer Hannah Joy tearing the track apart as emotion floods her face.

Mistake is the first taste fans have copped from the group’s highly anticipated debut album Lost Friends, which is due to drop on 4th May. The band are currently in the UK, smashing out some London gigs, but will return for a huge Australian tour that kicks off in May and culminates in a massive show at Sydney’s VIVID LIVE festival.

Middle Kids have dropped a hilarious video for their indie-rock burner ‘On My Knees’

One of Australia’s most promising indie-rock acts, Middle Kids have continued their stride to total takeover, releasing a amusing new video for the track ‘On My Knees’.

The video follows a talent show style audition session, with individuals showing off their many unique skills to varied success – that paired with the soaring hooks and fuzzy guitars Middle Kids have mastered, the whole experience makes for a pretty uplifting affair. Lost Friends is slated for a release of May 4th, which frontwoman Hannah Joy says revolves around the universal themes of hope and love.

“In a time where a lot of division is growing, we want to be part of the conversation that unites people around certain ideas that are universal, like hope and love.”
