Melbourne-based band Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever will release their ​ ​ highly-anticipated second album, Sideways to New Italy, this Friday, June 5th via ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Sub Pop. Today, they release the album’s fourth single, “Cameo,” which follows ​ ​ ​ “Falling Thunder,” “She’s There,” and “Cars in Space.” “Cameo” begins with open ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ guitar strums and Fran Keaney’s sweet, assured voice. Then, it thrums with plucking bass, crisp percussion, and Rolling Blackouts C.F.’s signature ability to create a stirring, anthemic track. Undoubtedly an album high point, “Cameo” shows a band at the peak of their power, both instrumentally and lyrically.

“This is a love song. It’s about reaching through time portals,” says Keaney. “The lyrics were pieced together over about a year like a little puzzle. I found the first pieces in

Rushworth, and the last pieces in Darwin.”

LISTEN TO “CAMEO”

Sideways to New Italy is available for preorder from Sub Pop. Preorders of the LP ​ ​ ​ ​ through megamart.subpop.com and select independent retailers in North America, the ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ U.K., and Europe, will receive the limited Loser edition (while supplies last).
