Scottish-born, Melbourne-based Quinny brings a slab of charming pop with the brand new single ‘Everything You Want’, which expands the artist’s indie-folk sonic universe into buoyant new territory, which is also armed with an endearing accompanying music video.

Following on from his recent singles ‘Settlers’ and ‘Found & Lost’, ‘Everything You Want’ also unveils yet another sneak peek ahead of Quinny’s debut full-length album, with ‘Outer Monologue’ officially set for release on Thursday October 17 and available to presave now.

A track that took on many forms during its recording process, ‘Everything You Want’ saw Quinny team up with Graham McCusker, a composer for BBC’s His Dark Materials and lead artist in Glasgow/Manchester bands KAZE and Marouli, as well as fellow creative Kieran Logan, drummer for Kassidy, to bring the charming new single to life.

Mixed and with additional production courtesy of Nathan Cable and mastered by Neil Pickles, Everything You Want ultimately flourishes with balanced modernity and classic craftsmanship, drawing on some dazzling influences and real-life experiences along with performances from Quinny himself on vocals, guitar and bass, Marie Collins (from The Vegan Leather) on backing vocals, Graham McCusker on backing vocals and keys, Dan Drennan on guitar, and some integral drum work courtesy of Kieran Logan. “This song is fairly new, and it got changed a lot in the recording process, so I definitely still feel in our honeymoon phase,” shares Quinny. “Everything You Want is one of my poppier tracks, very upbeat with a good groove – and props for the groove goes out to Kieran Logan who played drums on this one. Once we got right into the weeds of this tune, we were really aiming for a 1975 feel. Bit of Bombay Bicycle Club, Biffy Clyro and Steely Dan in there too. It’s about us not realising how good we have it. I feel like when things are going well, we can create problems to justify ourselves and our struggles.”

‘Everything You Want’ is indie/alt-pop rock dressed in Yacht Rock clothing; it’s brazenly catchy, guitars dipped in heavy phase, with an undeniable groove and swagger. Quinny has taken the cheekier side of ‘Opposites’-era Biffy Clyro, with a touch of Ball Park Music, and draped a whole heap of Hall & Oates over this track. It’s charming, sunny-side up, 80’s tinged indie, complete with hand claps and cowbell, when you need that wake-up call to tell you know life’s not that bad.

Recorded at Tpot Studios by Robin Evans in Quinny’s homeland, Scotland, 'Everything You Want’s cheerful wiles are perfectly matched by its accompanying music video. Centred around a wedding photo booth, the clip for ‘Everything You Want’ follows the bride and groom and their guests posing, drinking and everything in between as the evening wears on, serving as a clever yet simple reminder to relish the good times when they pass your way. “We just wanted a fun vibe that fitted the feel of the song,” reveals Quinny. “The video features some people in the photobooth at a wedding, capturing the highs and lows of the evening as things get messier. The video was directed and produced by Eilidh Loan, known for her performances in ‘Doctor Who’ and ‘How To Have Sex’, and features an ensemble of performers including Anna Russell-Marti, a Screen International Rising Star, known for her TV performances in ‘Karen Pirie’, ‘Falling Into Place’ and ‘Annika’, and Reuben Joseph known for his run as Alexander Hamilton in London’s West End and TV roles in ‘Vigil’ & ‘Crime’”.

Alongside headlining shows at The Gaso, Last Chance, Retreat and Fitzroy Pinnacle since moving to Melbourne, Quinny also previously won the 2020 Darebin Songwriters’ People’s Choice Award shortly after moving down under, scoring the nod for his single ‘Found & Lost’ that will also feature on the upcoming album ‘Outer Monologue’. Described by Tenement TV as “an enthralling mix of the raucous and sentimental with witty lyricism and poppy charm”, Quinny had also spent the past few years releasing older material and flippant Christmas songs, with One Foot In The Grave’s Richard Wilson making an appearance in one of Quinny’s infamous Christmas videos.

To celebrate the release of ‘Outer Monologue’ this October, Quinny will host a special album listening party on Saturday October 19, with the free event set to take place at The Gem in Collingwood, before christening the album live in action this December. “I’ll play the album in full for the first time in December, followed by a set of my wonky Christmas tunes,” Quinny shares. “It’ll be high energy, and I’ll try not to derail the sombre mood of the songs by talking too much – though that seems to be half of what people come for now!”

You can stream ‘Everything You Want’ right now on all digital platforms, and Quinny’s full-length album, ‘Outer Monologue’ is due out Thursday October 17 (which you can presave now).
