HEARTEYES SHARES NEW SINGLE 'F.U.A.' FEATURING 8485 + ANNOUNCES UPCOMING MIXTAPE HEADBANGERS 2
Santiago is explicitly interested in challenging conventions of how music should be made.

One of Australia's most unique artists, Hearteyes today shares news of his upcoming mixtape Headbangers 2, alongside a new single 'F.U.A.'. Featuring Canadian hyperpop star 8485 (part of the acclaimed Helix Tears collective), the track is a raucous punk-pop anthem, equal parts nostalgia and cutting edge.
Of the single, Hearteyes states; 'F.U.A.' is about acknowledging and accepting the variables for a relationship's end and the subsequent coping mechanisms people have in dealing with it. Whether you turn the experience into a positive, or revel in the misery, they are both healthy.'
Out July 16, Headbangers 2 is the latest project from Hearteyes. The mixtape features collaborations with Jordon Alexander (Mallgrab's side project) and Australian punk-pop artist Up Late, and is as varied a record as you'll come across. The record will be the first full release by newly announced label Coalesce, whose roster also includes Cookii and Lonelyspeck.

Hearteyes is the pseudonym of Sydney-based multi-instrumentalist and producer Maurice Santiago. Having a long history traversing the Australian underground music-scape from playing in punk bands to producing house music to hard-style, Santiago is a musical tour-de-force who thrives on dejection, anger and melancholy. Releasing a handful of acclaimed mixtapes and projects within the Australian underground over the last year and a half, Hearteyes constantly pushes the boundaries of what is considered appropriate in the sphere of artistry; denying the notion that brand and music are one in the same, but rather should be criticised and manipulated. In the words of Santiago, 'nothing makes sense anymore and I don't want it to start again.'
