Melbourne artist The Outdoor Type has been impressing on all fronts since his debut last year, and continues his hot streak with new single ‘Rumination’.
He insisted on recording this one live with his band, assisted by producer John Castle (Cub Sport, Vance Joy, Dustin Tebutt) and mixer Steven Schram (San Cisco, Tigertown, Tiny Little Houses). The result is a soaring, spacious track that glimmers with positive energy.
“The song is about the nature of the modern, routine-driven, fast-paced,nine-to-five, mortgage ’til you die time that we live in,” says Zack. “It’s a rejection of that – and, at the same time, a want to prove to yourself, or to others, that you are capable of all those things.”
Zack released The Outdoor Type EP in 2015, before signing with U.S. indie label Nettwerk Records alongside fellow Aussies Boy & Bear and Hermitude. Having supported acts like Vera Blue, Alex Lahey and Tiny Little Houses, he’ll now be taking to the festival stage this year at NYE On The Hill, as well as launching into his own tour (dates below).
Rumination is out through Habit Record Co., and can be streamed below.
