Melbourne-based duo Ratfink! craft a delectably hazy rock appeal on new single “About Ya,” releasing ahead of their forthcoming album, WHEN U WERE MINE. Rock, dream-pop, R&B, and beyond aesthetically inspire the music from Liv and Raph, who were mates in high school and have continued to craft memorably understated pop songs in their shared Brunswick house.

Adorned by a steady rhythmic pit-pattering throughout, “About Ya” unveils with delicate precision — building from a bouncy bass pulse and lushly affecting guitar glistening. Both vocalists contribute a dreamy, immersive charm — particularly in their dual-vocal convergences into the “song is about, wasn’t gonna tell you…” admissions around mid-point. An enjoyably serene and atmospheric success with a sound fit for late-night drives, “About Ya” has us thoroughly anticipating the duo’s upcoming album.
