PREMIERE: Indie Electronic Duo Abroad Start Afresh On ‘Coffee’

New South Welsh electronic indie duo, Abroad, will release their first single of 2022 this Thursday, 7th April. ‘Coffee’ is premiering today on Music Feeds.

Abroad is the project of Jack Dawson and Will Cruger, who met at university in Wollongong several years ago. The outfit made its name with a series of location-specific EPs, beginning with London in 2017 and New York in 2018. They returned to New South Wales to create last year’s Sydney EP.

Cruger produced and mixed the new single, ‘Coffee’, a track he describes as “an analogy for the person that gets you out of bed in the morning.” Dawson sees ‘Coffee’ as “like having a fresh start and that exciting time when everything is new. Getting that burst of energy to get up and rip into what is in front of you.” There’s also a literal meaning to the track. “I’ve worked in the specialty coffee industry longer than Abroad has been around,” says Cruger. “It’s always fuelled my creativity.”

Abroad will launch ‘Coffee’ with a trio of live shows in April and May. Find the tour dates and listen to ‘Coffee’ below.
