‘Undergrowth’ is the new single from Melbourne trio Passerine, a smooth concoction of sweeping electronic loops and lush orchestral elements.
“I really love this song because I feel like it came from a really pure space, artistically,” says vocalist Phoebe Dubar of the writing process, apparently as organic as the lush imagery would suggest. “It fell out of me. It was effortless.”
“I wrote lyrics about how the forest life cycle is similar to a relationship – we start at the top, fresh and green and new and eventually wind up on the ground where it gradually rots away.
“I think the song encapsulates that feeling of wanting to go back to the beginning of a relationship, and that feeling of when you look back on a relationship at its end – how things often look better in hindsight. The good times become better. You yearn for them. You forget the bad stuff. The reasons you left. But in reality, everything must end.”
‘Undergrowth’ is out now through through Bag of Fox Records, and available now iTunes and Spotify – if you like what you hear, you’ll be able to catch Passerine playing live at Melbourne’s Untz Untz tomorrow night, joined by The Flock.
