PostLast – share their debut EP ”Pull Me Into The Open Sea” + drop focus single ”Halloween”

Dream pop duo PostLast share their ethereal debut EP Pull Me Into the Open Sea and eerie focus single ‘Halloween’ via VETA Records today. Written and produced by Julie Hough (vocals) and Stephen McHale (guitar), the EP taps into a sense of childlike wonder.

Julie explains: “Pull Me Into the Open Sea is tied together by a sense of openness to the world that you have when you’re a child. All of the songs have a nostalgic quality but don’t necessarily romanticise the past—more so the people we were before we developed the barriers, preconceptions, and insecurities that amount throughout our lives. This was very much the spirit of how Stephen and I approached the music: being open to something new and unknown, and that attitude filtered into the songs themselves.”

Stephen says of the EP: “We began writing these songs without any defined direction of what they should sound like, or what the lyrical content should be, and I think the reason they gravitated towards a sense of wistful contentment was because of that lack of boundaries. Lyrically, the sea features heavily throughout, as do other themes of relaxation and life’s simple pleasures, such as board games and Halloween. It’s reassuring to know that creating without any sense of pressure resulted in something that contains more calm contentment than I would have expected from myself!”
