Sly Withers have announced an Australian tour, their new album 'Overgrown' and their latest single.
Today Sly Withers announce the next huge chapter of their career with the release of their latest single ‘Radio’ as well as news of their brand-new album, Overgrown, out October 28 via Dew Process /UMA.
Discussing the new single, the band’s co-songwriter and ‘Radio’ vocalist Jono Mata says: “The initial idea for ‘Radio’ came about while I was feeling nostalgic and thinking about simpler times. ‘Radio’ talks about the feeling that your thoughts are getting lost in translation and you want to be heard but can’t organise the words to get your point across.

“I like to think that comes through in the song itself sounding a little frantic and all over the place.”
Co-vocalist and guitarist Sam Blitvich adds: “We had a lot of fun with this one. It’s a track that Jono brought in to us pretty much finished already, although we still had a lot of fun making a few small changes in the studio with Parko (producer Dave Parkin), especially in terms of getting the bass and drums grooving a little more in the verses.
“It was one of the first tracks we worked on with Parko and it really set the tone and excited us for what lay ahead with the remainder of the recording process.”
Featuring 14-tracks, the Perth outfit’s epic third studio album was produced with Dave ‘Parko’ Parkin (Spacey Jane), which resulted in the band expanding and elevating their sound to a huge new level, while still making sure to retain the core DNA of who Sly Withers are as a band.
