Following the release of their debut EP ‘Scene Change’, Sydney-based duo Salarymen have dropped a new single ‘All in Vain’ and accompanying video via Scenic Drive Records, as premiered on Triple J Home & Hosed. 

‘All in Vain’ represents a new era for Salarymen, transitioning into a more sophisticated sound, while maintaining their signature harmonies and synth-driven rhythms. The song makes an instant impact with undeniably catchy melodies and bright, summery riffs, which build up to an emphatic ending and leave the listener wanting more. Placing Renee’s songwriting abilities front and centre, ‘All in Vain’ rounds out with a set of powerful, climbing vocal lines, which reach dizzying heights.

Co-vocalist and bassist Renee de la Motte explains the meaning behind the song:

“All in vain is a frank reflection on how much social media has crept into our lives, and placed pressure on us to look better and be present, all of the time. As a society, it has increased our narcissistic tendencies and driven us to compete with other people. What someone puts out on Instagram might look amazing, but in many cases they can be deeply insecure and unhappy with themselves. These platforms have become a constant force reminding people of what they lack, and this track is an uplifting reminder not to worry about what people think of you on the internet. You’re cool the way you are!”

Lyrics

I'm on a losing streak
And everyone I meet
Just smiles
And turns away
And If you say the words
I can't but say that I'm no fool
And if you come down in my car
Ain't nothing I can do
But turn around
And turn it down
And if you're bleeding much too far
Ain't nothing to see you through
You can't reach out
Can't make a sound

I'm on a losing streak
Living on Loser Street
Loserville
