Back with their first taste of new music since 2019's acclaimed Don't Let Go album, one of Australia's favourite modern rock acts – Dear Seattle – are back with new single 'In My Head'. After premiering via triple j's Good Nights yesterday, today's official release comes alongside the announce of a long-awaited Dear Seattle headline tour, before the band premiere the 'In My Head' music video this Friday June 11 via Youtube at 4pm AEST.
Glowing yet melancholic in sound, Dear Seattle vocalist/guitarist Brae Fisher shares that 'In My Head' describes the familiar feeling of being stuck in your own head while trying to connect with others.
"It’s been a minute, but we’re so damn excited to be back with new music! 'In My Head' is about stepping back into your regular life after a period of withdrawn reflection, walking around like a spectator to your own life. There’s a thin barrier of disconnection as you try to adjust and settle back into everyday interactions, which is just enough to make you notice the true absurdity of monotonous small talk and forced conversations," he says.
"It’s a more nuanced and mature direction for us but still keeps the classic Dear Seattle sound with an emotionally charged singalong chorus and introspective verses, so it felt like the perfect song for us to return with. We can’t wait to get back out there and play some this song and our other new tunes for you live."

About Dear Seattle:
After snapping heads with their 2017 self-titled EP, (spawning tours with the likes of Tired Lion, Balance And Composure, Hockey Dad and Trophy Eyes, and festival slots on Groovin' The Moo, UNIFY, Festival Of The Sun and Party In The Paddock), Dear Seattle asserted themselves as one of Australia's most exciting young rock acts with the release of their 2019 debut full-length Don't Let Go.
Exploring the stress and challenge of being a full-time musician, anxiety (‘Bigger Than My Brain’), self-doubt (‘Daytime TV’), reckless living (‘Homegrown’), the fake nature of the music industry (‘Try’) and perhaps most searingly, the death of vocalist/guitarist/lyricist Brae's father (‘I Keep Dreaming’), Don't Let Go packed in poetic lyricism and plainspoken Australian storytelling, all peppered with an endearing dose of self-deprecation.
Offering a depth and dimension not too often found in their genre, Dear Seattle captured industry and audience hearts alike upon the album's release in February 2019. Don't Let Go garnered praise from the likes of Pilerats ("stellar"), The Music, ("hard not to fall in love with"), New Noise ("an immaculate effort") and more, saw the band invited to play triple j's lauded Like A Version segment, copped a nomination for Best Rock/Punk Album at the 2020 AIR Awards and spawned a huge headline Australian tour to celebrate. To date the record has also amassed over 7.5 million streams.
Now with a few years and some more life behind them, plus a renewed focus to write completely for themselves, Dear Seattle return with 'In My Head' before looking to release more new music soon.
