Australian band Mars On Holiday released their new single, ‘We’re Gonna Change on February 7th. The song has dreamy pop vibes, which instantly leaves a lasting impression on the listeners.
Originally conceived as a solo project by frontman Dane Pavic during the 2021 lockdown in Melbourne, Mars On Holiday evolved into a collaborative effort upon his return to Perth. Pavic, seeking to break free from the confines of a single genre, invited friends Daniel Chan, Jack Schubert, and Maks Pavic to join him. Their aim was to explore experimental sounds while maintaining strong, structured songwriting.’
Mars On Holiday – “We’re Gonna Change”
“We’re Gonna Change” delves into the inevitable transition from the honeymoon phase of a relationship to a sense of drifting apart. Dane Pavic reflects on this theme, saying, “Deep down you know it’s probably wishful thinking – but this time it’ll be different…right?”
The track was independently recorded and later mixed by Aria award-winning producer Steven Schram, known for his work with artists like Paul Kelly and San Cisco. Schram’s touch adds a lush texture to the song, elevating Mars On Holiday into the realm of genre heavyweights like Tame Impala and Psychedelic Porn Crumpets.
Accompanying the release is a high-quality music video, shot amidst sand dunes with self-programmed lighting. Despite initial doubts, the end result perfectly captures the band’s vision.
The band share a statement via a press release “We’re really lucky in WA to have such diverse and amazing scenery within a few hours drive of Perth – so we always try to take advantage of this when shooting videos,” Further adding, “We had this idea in our heads of sand dunes blanketed by a sea of neon lights, but had absolutely no idea how to do it.”
