Bad//Dreems – ‘Mansfield 6.0’

Earlier this month, Bad//Dreems released new single ‘Mansfield 6.0’. Their first single since ‘Desert Television’ in 2020, the track serves as a taster of the group’s forthcoming fourth album, which is scheduled to arrive in 2023.

A staple of their live sets for some time, Bad//Dreems explained that ‘Mansfield 6.0’ emerged out of the strange times that Australians have found themselves living through in recent years. “At 9:15 a.m. AEST on the 22nd of September 2021, an earthquake measuring 6.0 was recorded in the town of Mansfield, Victoria and felt in Melbourne and around the state,” the group explained as part of a statement.

“At the same time, a mob of 2000 men wearing hi-visibility workwear and shouting anti-vaccination slogans marched through the streets of Melbourne, vandalising cars and clashing with police,” they added. “They gathered on the West Gate Bridge, where they sang and drank. This song was written at that strange time.”
