total tommy has released her new single, ‘SPIDER’. It’s a swaggering track that fits perfectly into the Sydney-based artist’s canon of anthemic bedroom rock. There’s a grungy sensibility found throughout the track, whether it comes from the shuffling, palm-muted rhythms that underpin her conversational verses, or the huge drops that accompany her transitions into Alice In Chains-style instrumentals. “I was writing one day and noticed a massive spider on the wall. It became the perfect metaphor for a clingy friend I needed space from,” she explains. “I’ve been obsessively listening to this track ever since, pushing the production heavier and heavier with each iteration.” ‘SPIDER’ is taken from total tommy’s highly anticipated debut album, bruises, which is set to be released on November 29th, 2024, via [PIAS]. -Dan Peeke
