Founded in late-2015, this Australian indie-rock outfit humbly went about forging an eclectic sound, splicing subtle jazz and Brit-rock influences over catchy guitar work and melodic vocals.

Their debut EP, 'Indigo Club' is due for release in late 2016. The record was tracked in Adelaide (Matt Hills), mixed by Magoo (The Jungle Giants, Art vs. Science) and mastered by Steve Smart of Studio 301 (British India, Vance Joy).

Just this year the band has caught support slots for the likes of Andy Bull, Last Dinosaurs and Hey Geronimo as well as performing on the YEWTH line-up alongside acts such as Montaigne and Tigertown.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tell me now I′m sure
You could laugh and you could cry
Just be home later and look me in the eye
I know you feel it in your bones
But where's the sleep gone again?

And I know it′s early in the evening for me to be drinking
But I don't really feel that much

But I know it's early in the evening for me to be drinking
But I don′t really feel that much

So just tell me what you want
I′ll forget again
Maybe you should just take the bus and leave me
Can you hear me now?
Can you hear me now?
Can you hear me now?

And I know it's early in the evening for me to be drinking
But I don′t really feel that much
But I know it's early in the evening for me to be drinking
But I don′t really feel that much

And I know it's early for me to be drinking
And I know it′s early

And I know it's early in the evening for me to be drinking
But I don't really feel that much
But I know it′s early in the evening for me to be drinking
But I don′t really feel that much

And I know it's early in the evening for me to be drinking
But I know it′s early in the evening for me to be

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to The Montreals' song "Deadheads" convey a sense of vulnerability and confusion. The singer is addressing someone and asking them to be honest and present with them. They acknowledge that the other person is capable of both happiness and sadness, but they want them to come home and look them in the eye. The singer senses that something is amiss, feeling it in their bones, and wonders where the sleep has gone.

The repetition of "I know it's early in the evening for me to be drinking, but I don't really feel that much" suggests that the singer is numbing themselves through alcohol, perhaps as a way to cope with the emotional turmoil they're experiencing. They are aware that it may be too early in the evening for drinking, but they express that they don't feel much and may be seeking an escape from their feelings.

The line "Maybe you should just take the bus and leave me" hints at a desire for the other person to distance themselves, possibly due to the singer feeling overwhelmed or not wanting to burden them. However, the repeated plea of "Can you hear me now?" signifies a desperate need for connection and understanding.

Overall, the lyrics capture a moment of emotional disarray, where the singer is grappling with their feelings and seeking validation, while also acknowledging their own conflicting actions and emotions.

Tell me now I'm sure
That you could've lied
That you could've cried
Just be whole baby and look me in the eyes
I know you feel it in your bones
But where's that sweet gun again

I know it's early in the evening
Found me to be drinking
But I don't really feel that much
But I know it's early in the evening
Found me to be drinking
But I don't really feel that much

So just tell me what you want
And I'll forget again
Maybe you should just take the bus and leave me
Can you hear me now, can you hear me now, can you hear me now?

I know it's early in the evening
Found me to be drinking
But I don't really feel that much
But I know it's early in the evening
Found me to be drinking
But I don't really feel that much

And I know it's early
For me to be drinking
And I know it's early

I know it's early in the evening
Found me to be drinking
But I don't really feel that much
But I know it's early in the evening
Found me to be drinking
But I don't really feel that much

And I know it's early
For me to be drinking
And I know it's early
For me to be
