After releasing their single “Sour” in early May, Sydney’s premier pop-rockers Yours Truly are back with an energetic new single, “California Sober.”
The band shares, “‘California Sober’ was written during the same period as ‘Sour.’ We’d started working on ‘Sour’ [and] we were getting nowhere with it. We had a bit of a breakdown; we were crying and talking about things.”
They continue, “We were mucking around, playing guitar, and Mikaila [Delgado] started singing about when you come over and your friends are stoned; just sitting there, not wanting to do much. It’s all good and fun, but you can’t enjoy other people’s company and think, ‘I’m not good enough to hang out with. ‘California Sober’ is the essence of trying to be present with your friends and loved ones. You don’t have to just put on this facade, this mask, and hide yourself away.” Check out the new track below.
The track will appear on the Australian group’s forthcoming 10-song full-length album, TOXIC, which will arrive on August 16 via UNFD. You can secure your pre-orders here.
Yours Truly will be joining the North American leg of You Me At Six’s farewell tour alongside Enter Shikari. Check out their full touring schedule below and purchase tickets here.
