LOTTE GALLAGHER
ANNOUNCES DEBUT EP
A BETTER FEELING +
PROTECTS HER PEACE ON
‘THIS ROOM’
Rising Naarm singer-songwriter Lotte Gallagher has piqued ears with the first tastes of her musical project over recent months; distilling the uniquely-teenage experience of love, yearning and heartbreak on singles ‘Adam’ and ‘Gray’.
Following up her triple j Unearthed High 2023 finalist title, first ever Laneway set, national tours with The Beaches and Ricky Montgomery (and still only 17 and in her final year of high school), today Lotte Gallagher announces her debut EP A Better Feeling is out Friday 4 October, and shares explosive new cut ‘This Room’.
A Better Feeling is a confident and addictive collection of songs, combining the effortless cool of modern indie stars such as Phoebe Bridgers and Angie McMahon with the nostalgic energy of the 90s rock Lotte was raised on – Portishead, Jeff Buckley and Nirvana. The EP’s earworm melodies are driven by propulsive, shimmering guitars, Lotte’s commanding vocals and her striking yet heartfelt lyricism. The EP was produced by Holy Holy’s Oscar Dawson and features co-writes from both Dawson and Ali Barter.
Written during a time period spanning Lotte’s early teenage years to the present, these songs represent an artistic and personal journey for a songwriter who’s still experiencing the highs and lows of young adulthood in real time.
The EP takes its name from a refrain in today’s soaring new single ‘This Room’: “Let me be, when I start leaving, I just need, a better feeling.” On the track, Lotte brings us further into her atmosphere; it’s another fierce and punchy anthem where her clever lyricism and striking vocals sit resplendent amidst a bed of indie guitar, all building to a euphoric, shout-it-out-loud crescendo.
“‘This Room’ is about when the truth comes out. When you are tired of someone’s behaviour and instead of causing a scene, you leave because you know that you deserve a better feeling.”
– Lotte Gallagher
An artistic soul with an air of blasé vengeance, Lotte Gallagher is a force to be reckoned with. A high school student from inner Melbourne, Lotte has immersed herself in art and music classes, fuelling the creativity in her instrumentation and striking mature lyricism. With her too-cool-but-I-care-too-much attitude, Lotte Gallagher is a phenomenal artist with the drive to become a true star of her generation.
