Folk-Rock Band The Elsewheres Deliver Brand New Track ‘Run Away With Me’

‘Run Away With Me’ is the brand new single from Victorian folk rock outfit The Elsewheres - an anthem to freedom and romance as plucky guitar licks, and bold textures ingrain the soundscape to give it that great feel. The Elsewhere’s love to take storytelling to the next level through their vocal harmonies, groovy rhythms, and blissful melodies that really get you moving.

Lead singer and songwriter Oliver Northam explains, “Run Away With Me” captures a fantasy I’ve always had of an unexpected meeting between two unlikely lovers who, although uncertain, long to abandon their mundane lives. For me, it is a story of freedom and the beauty of a recklessly romantic love. Although fictional, Run Away With Me does draw from real moments and memories. The inspiration for the ‘topless bar’ in which our characters meet in the opening verse comes from my first job out of high school as a pianist at a burlesque bar. It’s within that smoky, sordid world that I see these characters breathing.”

The track was brought to life during the songwriting process with Oliver working with Ella Hooper of Killing Heidi and Alex Gow (Oh Mercy). It was later completed when Melbourne composer Lee Bradshaw reached out to Oliver during lockdown, with Michael Bradshaw mixing, and the mastering done by Jeremy Chua.
