Allo Darlin' - "Capricornia"


Allo Darlin' have released the single, "Capricornia", as a prelude to their upcoming sophomore release, Europe, being released April 17th through Slumberland Records. "Capricornia", in addition to appearing on Europe, will be released on a 7" through Slumberland Records on March 6th. Check out the new single after the jump.

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.
