An intense period of hibernation and creative growth has dawned Sumner's stunning new single 'Stranded', co-written and produced by Nick Littlemore and Peter Mayes (PNAU, Empire of the Sun).

‘Stranded’’ is the first of a string of singles co-written and produced by PNAU, as Sumner become the newest signing to Lab78, the label started by Littlemore and Mayes, in partnership with Australian indie label etcetc.

Stranded

Following on from their breakthrough single and debut release on Lab78, ‘Stranded’, electronic duo Sumner (Chloe Wilson & Jack McLaine) are back with their striking new single 'South', an ode to their home state of Tasmania. 

Co-written and produced with Nick Littlemore and Peter Mayes (PNAU, Empire of the Sun), ‘South’ was written on the same day as ‘Stranded’ and is a continuation of the themes of introspection and recognition of their past selves.

With Sumner’s signature slick, sophisticated production, this chilled electronic track is the perfect follow-up to the head-turning debut EP All That I Am. Minutely detailed, balanced and uncluttered, ‘Put It Out is inspired by the glass shattering moment you realise someone is not who you think they are. It is a song about putting all of yourself into something or someone, and the realisation that you’re not receiving anything for all you’ve given. It’s about the realisation that you’re just another cog in the machine and that some things can’t be in our control’.

Jack and Chloe share a little more about the process and the team behind it all, “Put It Out is a song we started working on around 3 years ago. We had it sitting on the computer in various stages of completion but once we wrote the chorus we couldn’t seem to get it out of our heads for months and we couldn’t help but finish writing it. We remade the song in a few production sessions using Ableton and headphones, while travelling for Big Sound, and were fortunate enough to work with mix engineer John Castle (Greta Ray, Cub Sport, Vance Joy, Meg Mac) and continue our relationship with fellow Tasmanian-based mastering engineer William Bowden from King Willy Sound (Gotye, Winston Surfshirt).

Put It Out

Jack and Chloe share some insight into the process, “Blame Myself is a song based on heartbreak and self- reflection. The inspiration behind the track is a relationship breakdown. In the moments when it’s all falling apart, it’s easy to pass the blame rather than taking a look at your own behaviour and acknowledging it’s your fault as well. Chuck’s vocal sample triggered the ideas that evolved into the narrative of the track. Its been a rewarding experience collaborating and working alongside friends. To top it off, Peter Mayes from Pnau mixed the track for us which we’re so excited about !”
