Sydney’s Jet City Sports Club has been a steady force in releasing perfect slices of indie pop for the past couple of years.
Their latest single “Drug Store (Waste My Time)” is yet another perfect example of that. The band taps into a bristling and vibrant tone of sweeping anthemic dreamy indie rock and pop, that blends elements of bands like Alvvays, Middle Kids, and The Beths. It’s quite literally a perfect pop song with an absolutely delightful infectious chorus.
Speaking on the track’s creation, the band’s Lilla Obradovic adds:
When I started writing this song, It was about always wanting more from a significant other, but it evolved into a sort of longing and desperation to be seen by someone you don’t even really know. Someone who might not even know you exist yet.
You know that feeling when you have a big crush on someone from a distance and you hope that they can feel your eyes on them across the room, but it’s all just juvenile because you don’t even know if you’d like them if you really got too close? I suppose the song is about that feeling. A dream of something that isn’t and might never be.”
