Lyrics

Your eyes were red sore

From swim school

From swim school

The days were cloudy, when you went home from here

Peacock on her perch

With red eyes, her feet tied

Tell me, you're there

Tell me, you'll dare

To be, here for

Dance Bear

Tell me, you're there

Tell me, you'll dare

To be, here for

Dance Bear

And we will clear it

From our minds, left behind

The warm protection, clears the sky

Kiss and fly

Peacock on her perch

With red eyes, her feet tied

Tell me, you're there

Tell me, you'll dare

To be, here for

Dance Bear

Tell me, you're there

Tell me, you'll dare

To be, here for

Dance Bear

Tell me, you're there

Tell me, you'll dare

To be, here for

Dance Bear

Tell me, you're there

Tell me, you'll dare

To be, here for

Dance Bear

Growth, perfectionism, and the process.

Talented Melbourne teenagers Snakadaktal have the world at their feet and, as the wide-eyed winners of triple j's Unearthed High competition, we're forecasting, a glittering future ahead of them. The group shared details about each song on their remarkable self-titled EP, including "Chimera," a stunning shoegazey pop song that caught triple j's attention. In December, they will begin a cross-country tour, so go see them perform live and perhaps buy them a drink. But first, check your ID. They are awfully young.

When Melbourne-based five-piece Snakadaktal won Triple J Unearthed High in 2011, Phoebe Lou and Joey Clough, then in high school, became instantly famous.

Only a few years after their breakup, the beloved indie-pop group left a definite vacuum in the Australian music scene. But if Snakadaktal hadn't broken up, we might not have been enchanted by the dreamy tones of Phoebe and Joey's most recent project, Two People.

 

The dream-pop duo returned to the recording studio later that year with a new outlook and a motivated approach to composition after the publication of their eagerly awaited first album, First Body, at the beginning of the previous year.

Second Body, which was released last Friday, was put together far more quickly than their debut album—which took several years to complete—and it is a beautiful sound expression of how Two People have developed as a creative team. I talked to them on the phone about their loneliness, odd habits, and the recording of the album.
