Perth collective The Tortured Souls have released “Gold-Lined Melancholy,” the third single from their forthcoming debut album.
Led by Justin Davies, the project belongs to the more reflective end of Australia's independent landscape, where songwriting and atmosphere take precedence over straightforward genre branding.
Third singles are often where an album campaign becomes clearer: listeners have enough material to begin understanding the record's range without having heard the complete statement.
“Gold-Lined Melancholy” consequently provides another useful entry point into a debut that could otherwise easily disappear beneath tomorrow's much larger Friday release avalanche.
