Episode Synopsis

STREAMABLE EVERYWHERE FROM TODAY

Nimbly interlacing subversive electronic sound design with ultramodern hip-hop and pioneering alternative R&B, Spectoral pushes the boundary of pop to the cutting-edge. Dave Ruby Howe, Music Director of Australian national radio station Triple J Unearthed and host of Home & Hosed, describes Spectoral as "an artist who can be relied on to deliver highly detailed productions with unshakable earworm qualities at their core".

A revered producer and singer, Spectoral has been compared favorably by NOTION, PILERATS and MYSTIC SONS to the likes of Golden Vessel, The Weeknd, James Blake, Joji, Flume, SOHN, Justin Bieber, Justin Timberlake and Galimatias.

Boasting half a million streams to their name across three EPs with dozens of collaborators, Spectoral's unique sound has been firmly established, with airings on Triple J, Triple J Unearthed, SYN, Radio Adelaide & PVFM.

A pivotal committee member of Melbourne's sprawling Beat Collective (beatcollective.net), Spectoral has worked with many industry heavyweights including BANTA, Flavour Lord (Amy Shark, Wyatt), SUB-human (SLUMBERJACK, Yvng Jalapeño), ALIUS, Tim McArtney (LANKS), Ben Feggans (The Kite String Tangle, Ngaiire) and Robin Waters (Darling James, The Boat People).

Much of the last two years has seen Spectoral readying an enormously ambitious debut album with no fewer than fifteen guests. GETAWAY is the lead single: a synthy, roadtrippy, pop-R&B slice of warmth, about escaping the city we're confined to. A collaboration with US producer Austin Holder, GETAWAY arrives perfectly in time for spring.

LYRICS



I've been plotting our exit
Hit the ground running
Trendsetter,
Flee the scene, whodunit
Leave em in the dust
Like an exodus
Got the same thoughts
As the people next to us
It's like
We both know
We can do it better
No sweater
Top down warm weather
Live a new life
I can see the spark in your eye
Press play on the phone
We're singing

You got no money
I got few supplies
I got this old Caddy
Playing mixtapes down the 55

I got no hesitations
You've got nowhere to be
Getaway getaway
Getaway with me
Let's bounce on the highway

Now we pass another exit
Don't look back honey
There was nothing really keeping us
But grinding for money
Nearly midnight
New sky, no worry
Crack another seal
Take the wheel, no hurry, yeah
We both know
We can do better
No sweater
Top down warm weather
Live a new life
I can see the spark in your eye
Press play on the phone
We're singing

You got no money
I got few supplies
I got this old Caddy
Playing mixtapes down the 55

You got no money
I got few supplies
I got this old Caddy
Playing mixtapes down the 55

Getaway getaway
Getaway with me
Let's bounce on the superhighway
Get away everyday
Come and play with me
Don't try getting me to stay

I got no hesitations
You've got nowhere to be
Getaway getaway
Getaway with me
Let's bounce on the highway
