Tia Gostelow soars into life on shimmering indie-pop anthem "Two Lovers"

As she prepares to release the follow-up to her acclaimed debut album Thick Skin, Brisbane-based indie darling Tia Gostelow reveals huge new track "Two Lovers" with massive synth sounds and even bigger drum fills. It's an anthem.

The opening track on the new record Gostelow explains this sparkling larger-than-life track "[is] a really cool way to start the album and hopefully draw people in and keep them excited for what's to come."

Holding some of her favourite lyrics she's even written, Gostelow singles out the lines "I've been numbing the pain, been praying for change / now I'm loosing my faith just like sinner" as "perfectly [summing] up exactly how I was feeling in my life at the time."

Featuring previous single "Always", "Rush", "Psycho" and a new mix of "Get To It", Chrysalis showcases the immense growth this exciting songwriter has been on since she emerged with her first album two years ago.

"I wrote these songs when I was living by myself in Brisbane and when I was in probably the loneliest and most anxious state I’ve been in. I’m such a family orientated person so when I was living by myself in a big city it really took a toll on me mentally. I feel like dealing with these emotions and putting them into these songs helped me overcome those feelings."

The wait is almost over as the album drops next week, until then let "Two Lovers" be a ray of sunshine to brighten even the dullest of days.
