Suburban Spell releases ‘Tick Tock’ single and video
Melbourne’s Suburban Spell released the single and video ‘Tick Tock’, a darkly humorous take on ageing, out now.
Melbourne darkwave synthpop act Suburban Spell released the single and video ‘Tick Tock’. The track is a darkly humorous take on ageing, the rituals of trying to stay healthy, and being told that everything is fine while time keeps marching on.
The song moves from forced birthday cheer and medical checklists to the ticking of a clock, treating the everyday reality of getting older with humour instead of dread.
‘Tick Tock’ follows a run of singles and an EP from the project, including ‘Ceremony’, ‘When I Die’, ‘Being Incompatible’ and ‘Bright Gold Cross’.
