Abbey Lane offers up indie rock catharsis on latest single, 'Bigger Man'

Sydney’s Abbey Lane returns and takes the high road, reflecting on the path in her latest indie-rock ballad, ‘Bigger Man’. The new single is also a taste of the upcoming EP ready to roll out in later September.

Known for her energy-packed anthems made up of powerful vocals, toe-tapping drum rhythms, and infectious guitar melodies, Abbey Lane's sound evolves with every release into something nostalgic, yet uniquely hers.

Now, she's revelling in her evolution with indie-rock single 'Bigger Man'. This track is branded with the unreal quality Abbey Lane is known for, capturing emotional moments with its groovy drum cycles, catchy guitar hooks, and Abbey Lane's mature, clear vocals.

Abbey Lane’s ‘Bigger Man’ feels instantly familiar, but never derivative. It’s the kind of indie rock that hits big when it needs to, but isn’t afraid to sit in the softer, more vulnerable spaces too. Sunburnt guitars drenched in reverb wrap around Abbey’s vocals, giving it that warm, late-arvo glow. It nods to the mid-00s alt-radio sound without leaning on nostalgia, carving out something that’s very much her own — a four-minute hit of indie catharsis.

'Bigger Man' is a patchwork of scrapped songs that Abbey Lane has written over the years, taking her favourite parts and tailoring them to fit her current flair. It is fitting, as this song focuses on reflecting on the past self. It explores the lessons learned from a past relationship where Abbey was expected to change, and how that shapes the current day.

This single release comes ahead of her EP, titled ‘Lessons Learnt’, slated for release on Thursday, September 25, building again on the themes of how a person learns and grows.
