SAMETIME are multi-instrumentalists Sunshine Coast brothers Tim and Sam Aitken.
Today they release their new EP ‘Maybe We Can Get High?’ which sees the band embrace their love of infectious synth driven melodies, titillating lyrics and spicy pop vibes.
Sametime’s new EP will delight fans of Last Dinosaurs, The 1975 and The Jungle Giants. It was produced by Fletcher Matthews (Stumps, Blue Velvet, Raave Tapes, OK Hotel) in Sydney and mastered by Paul Blakey.
The brothers wrote all the tracks from their hometown on the Sunshine Coast and worked out how to write and record music online via numerous Zoom meetings with Fletcher Matthews.
The EP features current single, ‘Moving On’, a dance floor-ready tune which has scored spins on Triple j’s Home and Hosed with Declan Byrne, Triple j Unearthed and confirmed EP support from various press outlets including Pilerats, The Music, Acid Stag, Scenestr, AAA Backstage.
The band says, “Moving On’ is about a time in our lives where things got turned upside down in a blink of an eye due to a choice that a very close friend made”. This track follows on from ‘Get To Know Ya’, “a bright, upbeat song about just going out and meeting someone that makes you feel good temporarily” and ‘Til Yr Not Ok’ plus infectious new tracks ‘Something To Feel’ and ‘Nothing I Can Change’.
