WA-based singer-songwriter Stella Donnelly released a new song today. Tricks is from her forthcoming album Beware of the Dogs, out 8 March.
Following on from the already released lead single Old Man and Lunch, Tricks is a jab at racist Australian pride and the absurdity of the music industry.
Stella says the song is a dig at some of the audience members she used to get when she was first starting out.
“This song is a playful zoom-in on the ‘Australian Identity’ and a loose dig at the morons that used to yell sh*t at me when I played cover gigs on Sunday afternoons. It probably served me right for singing ‘Wonderwall’ every weekend.”
Along with the release, Donnelly has also shared the accompanying video which was shot in Melbourne and co-directed by Nick McKk and Blue Mountains born singer-songwriter Julia Jacklin.
In March Stella Donnelly will head off on a massive tour around Australia across America and Europe.
