New Song, 'Afraid Yet?'
When you
listen to ROPES, the debut EP from Perth natives LACEY, one of the first things
you will notice is their incredible penchant for writing sobering, incisive
lyrics, phrased perfectly in the sweetest pop melodies. Their rhythms are tight
and infectious and their tones, soothing. The end result is a sound that is
unintentionally seductive, but defiantly addictive.
This skillful songwriting is a niche that sets LACEY apart, but is something the
band would never stake claim to. Humble from the inside out – and then some –
LACEY don’t want you to over-analyse them, their music, or yourself for that
matter. Their sound is created less by guidelines and more by a pure intent: to
expand, explore, and dance, and to have a damn good time doing it.
Formed in 2007, LACEY very quickly established themselves as one of the bands to
watch on the Perth music scene. In 2009 they received national airplay on triple
j for their first double single Hard To Tell/Whip, which also reached the top 30
of the triple j unearthed charts and peaked at 2 and 4 on the indie charts
respectively. The boys were also semi-finalists in the Western Australian Next
Big Thing competition. In January 2010, their second single and first track from
ROPES, ‘Distractions’, received airplay on triple j’s Home and Hosed and Richard
Kingsmills’s 2010 programs. They have headlined 3 sell-out shows at Perth’s
Amplifier Bar in the past 12 months, and now have their sights set on bringing
the party to the rest of the nation.
