THIS IS A PRESALE - RELEASE DATE IS 5 SEPTEMBER 2024.
Dateline have announced their much anticipated second album It's All Downhill From Here!
Everingham's lyrical prowess and humorous story telling aptly captures the complex emotions and vulnerabilities that come with motherhood and moving into your early thirties. Resonating with deep emotion, Dateline's back catalogue packs a one-two punch of crunched guitars and power pop sensibilities.
It's All Downhill From Here mixes classic rock sensibilities with the 60's jangle still echoing from the Californian canyons. Songs slowly build tension, working up to a screams of frustration (Hands), and tell stories of desperation over distorted guitars, driving rhythms, and lush four part vocal harmonies. Since 2019 her band has been a revolving cast of Aotearoa's brightest talent, with previous incarnations including members of The Beths, Hans Pucket, and Dick Move. Returning in 2024, Everingham is joined by Hikurangi Schaverien-Kaa (Ebony Lamb, French For Rabbits, Glass Vaults), Phoebe Johnson (Ebony Lamb, Revulva), and Reuben McDonald.
It's All Downhill From Here was recorded and mixed by Jonathan Pearce (The Beths) at Vogelmorn Hall and mastered by Oliver Devlin (Hans Pucket).
