Viennese popsters Laundromat Chicks are releasing their third studio album, Something Possessed, on Jan 24. Indebted to the “Dunedin Sound” of the ‘80s – which was created and curated by bands like The Chills, The Clean, and The Dead C – Laundromat Chicks embody the shimmering jangle-pop aesthetic of that scene but inject their own swaggering humor and a sense of romanticism into the music.
Their latest single, “Secrets”, is a jangling, starry-eyed breeze of a song, guitars sparkling in the morning light and voices tumbling together in a cascade of sound. Sounding like a gem from some lost C-86 addendum, the track reflects the radiance of multiple sunbursts and offers a wistful look at the consequences of affection.
“‘Secrets’ is less about the things people keep from each other, more about the things we take for granted about another person,” explains songwriter and founder Tobias Hammermüller. “It’s very obviously a love song and very obviously inspired by the Field Mice.”
