Allo Darlin'Allo Darlin’ has announced “Capricornia” as the title of the lead single off of their forthcoming sophomore effort, Europe. The LP will reportedly land stateside on April 3 via Slumberland and the band will make a trek across North America not long after.
“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 has lived in this area for over 6 generations but none of my generation remains. It’s a beautiful place,” says songwriter Elizabeth Morris.
“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.”

this looks like a good year for music.
