With a new album out shortly, Tom Iansek's #1 Dads project is back with another great tune. Finding time between Big Scary's hugely taxing schedule as well as his own growing production portfolio (Step-Panther, Airling, Hockey Dad), he's enlisted the assistance of fellow Melbourne artist Ainslie Wills on the album's second single, "So Soldier."
What stands out from the start is this track's noticeable difference to earlier single "Return To." The icy piano and mournful vocals have been replaced by a much more guitar-driven track, which makes use of Wills' warm tones to perfection. Really, the only similarity is in the quality of the two singles, making the upcoming album release all the more intriguing. There's a lovely smokiness to this track, and a sense of assured simplicity which emanates throughout the track's backbone.
#1 Dads' About Face LP is due out on Friday, August 8 via Pieater/Inertia, and it's shaping up as an absolute must if the early signs are right.
