SPACE&AGES Delivers Intoxicating Dose of Indie-Rock in 'Puzzle Piece' and B-side 'Bittersweet'
Brisbane’s 4-piece indie rock band SPACE&AGES has been taking the city by storm with their spacey indie-rock jams, and now they’re back again with undiluted indie perfection in the package of ‘Puzzle Piece’ and its B-side ‘Bittersweet’, coming into orbit on November 8th.
SPACE&AGES are becoming adored for their reflection of Australia’s restless youth and have the rabid fans to prove it. With first plays supported by Triple J Unearthed, single launch concerts sold out, wins in lineup comps like Passport to Airlie, Indieopia and Frothy Fest, and an East Coast tour under their belts, they have an impressive list of accomplishments following their debut in October 2023.
This release is indie at its most recognisable. ‘Puzzle Piece’ is a toe-tapping indie rock anthem, made up of a thick Aussie accent complimenting gorgeous, emotive vocals, boppy guitar, uptempo drums and playful bass riffs.
This song is a young love at sunset, pushing past the feeling of hopelessness and falling into love. Lead singer Phin Spence’s vocals are a showstopper, packed to the brim with emotions and bursting with the energy of vivid daydream. The lyrics are real and raw and hopeful, focusing on staying with a partner even when things get tough.
Its B-side ‘Bittersweet’ is the other side to the coin. This indie-folk song is true to its name, countering ‘Puzzle Piece’ in a softer and sadder song that’s stripped down to acoustic guitar and breathtakingly earnest vocals, a tragic song with thumping drums and melancholic piano when the song builds. It’s a delicate, heartfelt song that echoes the struggle of moving on.
Let the pieces fall in place with SPACE&AGES and their newest release ‘Puzzle Piece’ and its B-side ‘Bittersweet’ when they release on November 8th. Catch them performing at the Airlie Beach Festival this weekend (Nov 8-10).
