PREMIERED ON EDM CHICAGO: bit.ly/lovesomepremiere

Spectoral’s sprawling “Love Somebody Else” is a pop record built upon the idea of representing the natural world with synthetic sound design. Bird calls are represented by sampled fax machines and dial up modems while breezy pads wander below the insect-like chirps of CD-skipping clicks.

Produced by Spectoral, the track was co-written and co-produced by Australian hitmakers Tim McArtney and Tim Watt (George Maple, Flume, Touch Sensitive), with Watt handled mixing duties. The track has been mastered by the world class Ben Feggans at Studios 301 (Hayden James, Flume. Ngaiire).

"I was watching David Attenborough's Planet Earth II one night and got super inspired by the scene with the male widow birds.” says the producer. “They have these ridiculously long tails that makes it super hard to fly and survive, but they turn this burden into an advantage for attracting a mate. I really liked that."

Spectoral’s sultry, synthesized vocals carry the listener through clever lyrical similes as the future-soul producer lets the “dawn chorus of a beating heart” call us to “start to learn to love somebody else”. By the end of it’s tight 3:35 runtime you’ll have this record well and truly stuck in your head.

“Love Somebody Else” is the final single before Spectoral’s highly anticipated sophomore EP, “An Incorruptible Dream”, drops this July. In the meantime, Spectoral will officially be launching the single live @ Horse Bazaar, Melbourne, on Saturday 16th June, with local indie pop acts Orches, Twofold Vision and Phoenix Manson in support.

LYRICS:

Hey, can you hear the call,
Dawn chorus of a beating heart,
Can you feel it calling your name,

Here things are gettin old,
I need someone I can celebrate,
And start to love somebody else,

Soon we'll soar to an evergreen,
Sing like nightingale,
It's hard to wag a little tail,
Soon, let us be wildlife,
Let us make wildfire,
And start to wag our little tails,

Start to learn to love somebody else
Start to learn to love somebody else
Start to learn to love somebody else
Start to learn to love somebody else

Hey, try to make the most,
Keep calling for a beating heart,
I'm needing more than a play,
Here you can have it all,
Broke open from my wooden cage,
And start to love somebody else,

Soon we'll sing like nightingale,
We'll soar to an evergreen,
This life, no one lacks a little tail,
Soon, let us be wildlife,
Let us make wildfire,
And start to wag our little tails,

Start to learn to love somebody else
Start to learn to love somebody else
Start to learn to love somebody else
Start to learn to love somebody else

Pain when I get involved,
Ripped open like a paper cage,
Though you wouldn't know,
I'm built harder than a wooden frame,
You and me both,
We'll fly higher with our little tails,
And then we'll soar...

Start to learn to love somebody else
Start to learn to love somebody else
Start to learn to love somebody else
Start to learn to love somebody else

Hey can you hear the call,
Dawn chorus of a beating heart
