"Slumbering" out now

Listen wherever you listen to your music

Released on the 28th June 2024, Slumbering runs with a Boris Johnson quote - if post Brexit UK is a “slumbering giant, rising up”,  then her head’s in the clouds.  She’ll stumble and fumble to her protector before crumbling into rocks on Liberty Island.

Themes of tradition and fairytale are drenched in a 40 piece string orchestra, with Jack’s voice balancing on the head of a pin.  Jeff Buckley meets Elbow.

Temporary is the third single from an EP recorded with Gormie (Angie McMahon, Julia Jacklin) at Treehouse Studios, Victoria.

Champagne Jacket @ "Slumbering" single launch

"Slumbering" single launch, Northcote

oin Champagne Jacket in celebrating the long awaited release of "Slumbering", a dreamy song about the Brexit nightmare. With support from Gray Moyle, the night will be full of connection, optimism and hope, the Saturday before the UK goes to the polls.

Slumbering is the third release from Champagne Jacket's upcoming EP recorded with Gormie (of Angie McMahon). Indie disco banger “Sarah”, released in November 2023, repainted serotonin as “the one that got away”. Temporary, released in May, told the life story of a beach pebble. Now, in a response to a Boris Johnson’s speech about Brexit, “Slumbering” is a fable lamenting the fate of that giant woken unwisely.

Champagne Jacket will be supported by Gray Moyle who is smashing it with his awesome guitar skills and gravelly silk melodies on themes of nature, surfing, parenting, divorce and the grind of being human.
