You Am I – ‘Dilettantes’

A gift courtesy of Andy Kent from the band, this is the brand new song from arguably one of Australia’s greatest rock bands, You Am I. ‘Dilettantes’ is the title track from the band’s forthcoming album, set for release in September. Gone is the dirty, garage rock sound that this band is so renowned for; in its place is a beautifully country-inflected tone, similar to what their iconic frontman Tim Rogers was doing with his solo material. A lush orchestration really lends this song a sense of melancholia, and it’s a fitting backdrop to Rogers’ always-engaging lyrics.

    Saw Tim recently in London and he jokingly made an offhand comment about writing an album called Diorama. By the sound of this he was only half joking. Epic. He also said “Convicts was like a slab of meat, this one’s more like a bowl of fruit, with a cherry on the top”. Sounds about right to me.
