Melbourne's The Terrifying Lows reveal dark, captivating rock groove with new single, 'Waiting For The Sun'

Melbourne-based musician and Gamilaroi artist The Terrifying Lows brings a new taste of his debut studio record with the darkly captivating new single, ‘Waiting For The Sun’.

‘Waiting For The Sun’ follows on from previous release, ‘Belladonna’ - a track that demonstrated The Terrifying Lows (aka Tyler Millott) penchant for bringing layered pop textures together with great rock songwriting flair.

Tremolo guitars, rounded bass, and thudding drums provide a creeping backdrop for Tyler’s husky vocals, giving off some major Royal Blood-meets-QoTSA vibes, with a dash of The Cure thrown in. It’s dark, hypnotic, and dangerously catchy.

‘Waiting For The Sun’ was recorded at a number of Melbourne locations: The Aviary Studios, Tyler’s home studio and the studio space of drummer Pete Marin. Working with Alex Markwell (The Delta Riggs) on mixing and Joe Carra (POND, The Drones) on mastering, the track had a dream team behind it to bring it to its final, polished form.

“‘Waiting For The Sun’ is about a strange and dark time in my life when, for a long while, I was having very vivid and graphically violent nightmares and I was doing just about anything to stay up and not go to sleep. I can’t remember how long this went on for. Any length of time I pull out of my memory of this period seems too absurd to be real.” - The Terrifying Lows

The music video for ‘Waiting For The Sun’ captures this sense of surrealness and intensity. Directed by Millot, shot by Naomi Oakley and edited by Willy Pleasance, the ‘Waiting For The Sun’ video was put together in the midst of Melbourne’s sixth lockdown, using themes of isolation as inspiration.

‘Waiting For The Sun’ is out now on all streaming platforms.
