Hayley Mary of The Jezabels unveils debut solo single "The Piss, The Perfume"

"The Piss, The Perfume" is Mary's first single since The Jezabels released "The Others" in 2017.

Mary's new release is produced by Scott Horscroft (Silverchair, Middle Kids, The Presets), and was written during her time spent living above an old pub in Sydney’s inner west.

Speaking about the inspiration for her new single, Mary says, "Friday and Saturday nights would end up as late-night jam sessions when the pub closed. Friends would listen to music (I remember a lot of The Go Betweens and Paul Kelly) and play each other songs they’d written."

Mary adds, "I think I was very hungover or still drunk one morning after a night like this, (you know the feeling when you’re hungover but you’re kind of elated and glowing, because the suns coming up and somehow you feel in sync with the universe, but you’re probably just still pissed?) Anyway, I was newly in love and felt I was leaving a lot of sadness behind and this song came out of that."
