Big Strong Brute aka Brisbane songwriter Paul Donoughue is the master of crafting indie pop gems.
Having garnered his fair share of acclaim since his debut 2010 release, playing support slots for the likes of First Aid Kit and Jens Lekman, and receiving a nomination for the Australian Music Prize for his 2012 LP Avalanche of Truth, he’s now unleashing his brand new single ‘Wait’.
The single was written during an especially grey winter when Donoughue and his partner lived in Germany. “We were having trouble staying up-beat. Sundays were the worst: everything was closed, the city felt abandoned. The song became a kind of call to arms, like: Hey, chin up. We’re young, we’re healthy, we’re being adventurous. Things aren’t as bad as they seem,” he says.
‘Wait’ is the first stunning taste of what we should expect to hear from the songwriter’s upcoming Good Work EP set for release July 31. For more info visit his Soundcloud profile.
