Bakers Eddy Share New Single 'Dust On My Brain' From Forthcoming EP

Fresh off the back of a run of shows in the US, and just two months since their last release, Aotearoa/New Zealand-raised and Naarm/Melbourne-based Bakers Eddy are back with a new single and word of a new EP.

Having returned in February with Manners Street, their first piece of new music since the release of their acclaimed 2022 album, Love Boredom Bicyles, Bakers Eddy teased fans that a new EP was set to arrive this year. Now, they’ve confirmed that they’ll be releasing I'm Doing Better on Friday, June 6th via ADA.

Alongside announcement of the release, the group have also unveiled their latest single, Dust On My Brain. The spark that helped inspire the creation of most of the EP, Dust On My Brain is a track that focuses on mental health and the struggles to maintain it in hopes that you can one day say, “I’m doing better.”

"Dust On My Brain comes from a feeling of having the walls close in around you, and being trapped in self destructive cycles," explains Bakers Eddy frontman Ciarann Babbington. "I wasn't sleeping. I wasn't going out, seeing people. Just spinning myself out with negativity and stress and making bad coping decisions.

"I don't tend to write songs when my mental health is struggling, but this one kind of poured out when I was at my lowest and ended up being the catalyst for change, which I'm very grateful for. It made me excited to make music, so most of the EP was written because of Dust.”

Having been releasing music since 2015, Bakers Eddy have been going from strength to strength at every turn, with this year already seeing them spend a month-long stint in the US writing and performing, including appearances at New York's New Colossus Festival and Austin's SXSW.

Bakers Eddy’s Dust On My Brain is out now while I’m Doing Better will arrive on June 6th.
