Slackjaw warns of the allure of abusive relationships with disjointed imagery, pithy realisations and unconventional instrumentation. The song builds with trance-like rhythmic hooks and textures taking its cues from film scores and soundtracks.  ‘You can tell, listening to Slackjaw that we were more interested in making a movie than a pop song,’ announces Lacey, ‘Its all blood, canyons and car chases without a chorus to be found.’

Twenty Two is taken from Lazy Colts debut album Trojan.

Twenty Two

'The Mountain' is the first single from Lazy Colts’ upcoming EP Be The One. The legacy of seminal Aussie post-punk and alternative rock bands, like The Triffids and the Bad Seeds, lingers in the song’s barroom ferocity and fatalistic sense of dread. When framed through the current political and social climate, ‘The Mountain’ creates the perfect backdrop for an enduring, if not flailing, quest for redemption in the face of despair.

The Mountain

A song about hot love and cold war. Lazy Colts’ second single ‘Don’t Give It Up’ from their upcoming EP Be The One provides such a cathartic release of good vibes it may just be the answer to looming nuclear warfare. It is also the perfect song for dance routines that incorporate wagging fingers and shaking hips.

Don't Give It Up

With their sophomore release Be The One, Lazy Colts continue to set themselves apart – both from their peers and the places they’ve been before. In knee-jerk contrast to the elongated recording process of their debut album Trojan (2016) the principal tracking of the five songs that appear on their latest EP were recorded live over the span of 4 hours on a Sunday. The finished project is an energetic, warts-and-all, collection of songs capturing the collision point of the band’s musical idiosyncrasies with urgency and clarity.  
 
“We wanted to create something that had a bit of the mongrel of our live show in it”, lead vocalist and guitarist Lacey Cole reflects. “Half by design and half by necessity we approached the recording process just as we would a gig. Set up our gear, and bash through our songs one after the other.”
