Perth-based alt-pop five-piece Ah Trees return with “Shark Bait”

Ah Trees describe their sound as “fusing cruisey funk driven indie-pop and moody electronica with tunes that make you want to dance down the hall or drift away on a cloud”, and they certainly deliver the goods on new self-produced song “Shark Bait”.

With shoegaze guitars that threaten to give the likes of DIIV a run for their money (and effects pedals), and vocals reminiscent of MGMT, the song is propelled to the finish line by a pulsing and danceable bass line.

Speaking about the meaning of the song, frontman Ryan Adair says: ‘“There's no doubt we live in an age of fear. ‘Shark Bait’ is all of this burning venom sharpened to a point, a middle finger to all that ails us. The time for metaphors is over, choosing life isn't politics, it's just wanting to live.”
