The Humbuckin' Pickups
1 track
Pack a box of your favourite books and albums. Squeeze the last lot of clothes into your suitcase. Place the last of your belongings in the back seat and force the door shut. Put your seatbelt on, draw a deep breath, and take a left onto Hope Street. Blending the seamless harmonies of Ewan Cloonan and Mahney Cain with the intricate mandolin work of Vinny Russell (Rufous Whistler), the latest single from The Humbuckin’ Pickups, "Hope Street", captures the painful reality of a relationship past repair and the flicker of light at the end of the tunnel. The song takes listeners on a driving journey through the wreckage of a breakup, navigating the irony of fleeing via "Hope Street," breaking down at the "corner of regret and despair," and ultimately finding oneself trapped on a "dead-end road." Recorded with Isaac Barter in Geelong, the single features Ewan Cloonan on guitar and vocals, Mahney Cain on double bass and vocals, Vinny Russell on mandolin and vocals, and Isaac Barter on drums.
