Watch Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever’s Video For New Single ‘Cars In Space’

Melbourne’s Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever have shared new single ‘Cars in Space’ alongside a video set in an old-school Australian drive-in, directed by Nick McKinlay.

The song, which the band’s Fran Keaney explains is about “the swirling words and thoughts before a breakup”, feels consistent with their general jangly oeuvre. It’s packed full of the ultra-hooky, layered guitar-work  that earned them acclaim with debut album Hope Downs.

Whether the new track signals an album is on the way we’re not 100% certain, but given that they released 7″ single ‘In the Capital/Read My Mind’ last year, hopefully it’s a sign they’re cooking up something good.

Check out the video for ‘Cars in Space’ below. RBCF have a few Australian dates over the next month or so, including their upcoming Sydney shows supporting Pixies at the Opera House. You can check those out below too.
