Sl\u00f8tface<\/a> \u2013 the project of Norwegian musician Haley Shea \u2013 linked up with Sydney\/Eora garage pop outfit The Buoys<\/a> on the recent single ‘Fight Back Time’. The two acts bonded over an appreciation of Maggie Rogers\u2019 2022 LP, Surrender<\/em>, and the deft pop songwriting of HAIM, which shines through in the song’s taut rhythms and earworm of a chorus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sl\u00f8tface had already demoed the song with producers Michael Champion and Paul Whalley before making an online friend in The Buoys’ vocalist and guitarist Zoe Catterall. The collaboration developed from there, with Catterall and the rest of The Buoys sharing ideas with Shea over Zoom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lyrically, ‘Fight Back Time’ is concerned with self-destructive behaviour and a general aversion to sleep. “Midnights keep coming \/ I can outrun them \/ I\u2019ll try to fight back time,” goes the chorus. It’s a tendency that Sl\u00f8tface and The Buoys would prefer to overcome. And to this end, Shea tells Music Feeds <\/em>about the merits of taking a breath, celebrating your wins, and getting a good night’s sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
