Rising Australian alternative outfit Between You & Me today returns with the new single ‘Deadbeat’ via Hopeless Records, another taste of their long-awaited forthcoming sophomore album.

Written while in the studio finishing their new record, ‘Deadbeat’ sees the band hold a mirror up to the self-preoccupation and isolation that can come from pursuing one’s dream, and the impact this can have on relationships. 

“Being in a band, I am often away from home for long periods of time,” says frontman Jake Wilson. “Whilst at home, I also found myself prioritising my own endeavours over my relationship. During the pandemic, I was able to spend a lot more time with my girlfriend and I felt a sense of remorse for the unwavering support that she gave me whilst I was absorbed in my own career. ‘Deadbeat’ is a self-reflection of my behaviours as a boyfriend and how I recognised I needed to do better.”
