People Mover's 'Cane Trash' Sprinkled With Nostalgia
People Mover, a Brisbane based indie pop trio, are making waves with their new single, 'Cane Trash', as the title track from their debut album, set to release on September 12. This track takes listeners on a reflective journey, blending a sense of joy with an underlying melancholy that’s characteristic of their signature sound.
Formed in 2021, People Mover, consisting of siblings Lu and Dan, along with close friend Billy, have quickly become a mainstay in Brisbane’s live music scene. The band has been sharing stages with acts like Girl & Girl, Pinch Points, and Babaganouj, earning themselves a loyal following. Their music is a perfect reflection of their roots in regional Australia, particularly the small Queensland town of Bundaberg, which inspired the single 'Cane Trash'.
'Cane Trash' is an ode to the ash filled air of Bundaberg, a small town tradition linked to the sugarcane burn offs before harvest. It’s a song dripping with nostalgia, reminiscing about the simplicity of home and the tug between past and present.
“'Cane Trash' gives into memories of where you came from and how you used to feel.”
The song plays with the duality of feeling caught between nostalgia for the past and the desire to fully live in the present. It’s this subtle depth, combined with the band’s unpolished charm, that makes People Mover stand out.
Drawing comparisons to beloved acts like Scott & Charlene’s Wedding, Good Morning, and Dick Diver, People Mover’s music is as charming as it is relatable. Their debut album promises a mix of jangle pop and indie punk, with a warm, unmistakable Australian feel. The highs and lows of life in regional Australia are woven throughout the album, giving it an honest, raw edge.
As People Mover gears up for their debut album release, the buzz surrounding 'Cane Trash' is only just the beginning. With strong support from local stations like 4ZZZ and an ever growing fanbase, the trio’s unique take on indie punk is poised to capture hearts beyond Brisbane.
