Allo Darlin' have announced their sophomore album Europe will be released in 2012. Before the album drops, the band will release a 7" of the first single from the album, "Capricornia" through Slumberland Records on April 3rd.
Songwriter Elizabeth Morris had the following to say about the new song:
Capricornia is the area in Queensland that I'm from. It has imaginary state lines, roughly around the Tropic of Capricorn, which runs directly through my hometown. There's a nice 70s monument that marks the spot where the line passes, out on a lonely dirt road where all the kids learn how to drive. My family have lived in this area for over 6 generations but none of my generation remain. It's a beautiful place.
Musically, when we first discussed the album with our producer, I suggested that the feel of Europe should be somewhere between A New England by Kirsty Macoll and Cattle and Cane by The Go-Betweens. I think this song is the closest to that.
