About the Artist
With its light-hearted indie-pop/alt-folk bounce and Lottie McLeod's wry-yet-rose-tinted breathless vocals & lyricism - almost following the circular rhythms of what it's like to have a crush's name going round your head - 'Wednesdays at the Waterloo' and its tongue-in-cheek, 80-sitcom-esque clip paint the picture of a ultra-specific situation: doggedly losing each week at pub trivia just to spend time with an unknowing crush. Thanks to Lottie McLeod's "reputation for turning hyper-personal moments into something painfully recognisable" (Backseat Mafia UK), her sharp-yet-warm pen renders 'Wednesdays at the Waterloo', at its core, into a song about being left wordless by someone, wanting to tell them how you feel but it never seems like the right time, and choosing - with a self-aware smile - to keep quiet about it, knowing that can't last but getting a little lost in it all anyway. Pouring out unexpectedly during a session with producer Josh Beattie (Dami Im, Serendipiti - also on acoustic guitar, synth, banjo, piano, bass guitar & double bass) at 4000 Studios on Turrbal/Jagera Country in Magan-djin/Brisbane, 'Wednesdays at the Waterloo' continues both the poppier and subtle alt-country elements found in McLeod's previous single 'Sunburnt' via its lilting, sugary punch and softly intermingling instrumentation, with crisp drums (Cody Costa) alongside banjo, flute (Gabrielle Emery) and subtle pedal steel (Ben Mereki). The track's hyper-literal, hyper-local break-the-fourth-wall music video shot on Jagera & Turrbal land sees McLeod dip into her self-described "wannabe comedian" aspirations.
