about

Melbourne-based indie-electronic artist Bailey Judd has just revealed his first release of 2022 in the form of his effervescent new track ‘Brand New Car’ – produced by the artist himself and mastered by Adam Dempsey (Angie McMahon, Courtney Barnett, Eilish Gilligan).

‘Brand New Car’ is a strutting explosion of 80’s inspired synth-pop that sets an unrelenting pace through its groove-laden synth bass lines and vigorous percussion, oozing confidence with each thud of the kick drum. This forms the vibrant base for the track's infectious melodies, as both Bailey’s vocals and the lead guitar playfully intertwine to create wholly memorable hooks.

“It spins in this stylish, sprawling kinda way and has me dizzy but definitely on a high!” - 4/5 stars
Declan Byrne – triple j (AUS)

“Pun not intended but Bailey really sold me on this one with the '80s prog-pop production. It's got a euphoric upright pomp to it.” - 4/5 stars
Dave Ruby Howe – triple j Unearthed (AUS)

“A joyous ride from start to finish, belying the angst felt by the protagonist.”
The AU Review (AUS)

“Ok Tears For Fears reincarnate. This one tickled me more than a swab up the snoz! Nailed the retro dipped swing which is paired perfectly with some psych-pop mayhem.” - 4/5 stars
Joe Khan – triple j Unearthed (AUS)

lyrics

A vague light came beaming through my door
In my focus
It took life to sit me down and shake me by my collar
I said,
Tell me what you’re doing here
Can it just wait another year?
I’m not living like you told me to
I’m just another young boy
Smoking, drinking my joy
Spending cents with my innocents

The cash is sailing out
But taking up all my life
I’ll trade some time away
And try my best just to make it though
I got the feeling I’ll be selling just for groceries
Before tomorrow's sun
I pray some money comes

I pray some money comes

I pray some money comes

I wanna take you out to a place
I know will impress ya
You pick me up in your ride
and drive me from the station
My friends are buying new cars
While I’m selling my guitars
I lie and say I live my dream life
There’s nothing in my bank
From all the nights that I drank
But I take you out like I’m not struggling

The cash is sailing out
But taking up all my life
I’ll trade some time away
And try my best just to make it though
I got the feeling I’ll be selling just for groceries
Before tomorrow's sun
I pray some money comes

The dream is fading out
The truth is sinking in
I’d like to know by now
Just how to find another way through
My father’s words keep burning holes in the back of my brain
Fuck being young and dumb
I pray some money comes

I pray some money comes

I pray some money comes

Money money always funny when you’re living in a rich man’s world
But your gonna have to keep above water
Pick it up, should never leave, you can have it, all is yours if you believe it
All the bullshit my daddy believed in

The cash is sailing out
But taking up all my life
I’ll trade some time away
And try my best just to make it though
I got the feeling I’ll be selling just for groceries
Before tomorrow's sun
I pray some money comes

The dream is fading out
The truth is sinking in
I’d like to know by now
Just how to find another way through
My father’s words keep burning holes in the back of my brain
Fuck being young and dumb
I pray some money comes

I pray some money comes

I pray some money comes
