Slowly Slowly have released a new single from their forthcoming fifth album, Daisy Chain. It’s an effervescent new bop dubbed ‘Longshot’. The sweet, upbeat pop-rock songs was written as an ode to “self belief in the modern age,” the band said.
“‘Longshot’ is about putting all your eggs in one basket,” vocalist Ben Stewart explained in a press statement. “It’s about that feeling of semi-detachment where you feel replaceable in your own life whilst clinging to some hope there’ll be a win on the horizon.”

Stewart acknowledges that ‘Longshot’ might sound like a typical up-yours to the 9-5 daily grind. However, at its core, ‘Longshot’ is “about believing in yourself and sticking to your guns – you might as well put it all on red as we’ll blink and it will all be over soon enough,” Stewart said.
“Everything is stacked against you in modern society, it wants to fall in line and lose that part of yourself, but I truly believe everyone has a creativity about them that makes them feel like the main character in their lives, not just a supporting role. I guess this song is about listening to that little voice, even when it’s hard.”
Slowly Slowly are currently in the midst of a regional Australian tour, and have just been announced on the lineup for NYE On The Hill alongside Hockey Dad and Ruby Fields. Their fifth studio album Daisy Chain will reach our ears on Friday, 4th November, featuring previous singles ‘Blueprint’, ‘Daisy Chain’, ‘Forget You’ and ‘Nothing On’.
