Melbourne 4-piece Munroe have today shared another piece of jangly, textured and vulnerable alt rock with their latest single ‘My Time’ – out today alongside the announcement of their forthcoming EP ‘Said And Done’ out September 10.
Following the release of previous EP single ‘Happening Again’ released earlier this year, ‘My Time’ shines as one of the bands strongest releases to date. Filled to the brim with sun-drenched earworms throughout the track, ‘My Time’ finds its strength through relatable, honest lyricism; a reflection of one’s conflicting inner monologue in the midst of a turbulent relationship.
“My Time” captures the quiet tension of a relationship sitting on the edge of resolution, where honesty is needed but not quite faced. Built around the refrain “I’ll call you in my time,” the track leans into the instinct to hold control, to delay the hard conversations even when both sides know they’re overdue.
There’s a push for fairness and understanding running underneath it, but it’s tangled up in hesitation and self-awareness. At its core, the song lives in that uncomfortable middle ground where you’re wanting to make things right while avoiding what it takes to get there, all the while knowing the moment of truth isn’t far off. “It’s about that space where you know something has to be said, but you’re not ready to say it yet,” lead singer Callum Riordan says of the song. “You tell yourself you’ll deal with it later, on your terms but deep down, you know you can’t keep pushing it away forever.” CALLUM RIORDAN, MUNROE
‘My Time’, along with the rest of the EP, was recorded at Wick Studios in Brunswick – with Andre Johansson-Walder (The Goon Sax, The Comets) as a producer.
On the recording process, frontman Callum Riordan explains “ we had everyone in the room together, which was a big part of how it came to life. There’s a certain tension you can’t fake when you’re all playing it through at the same time, reacting off each other, letting it breathe a bit. We wanted it to feel natural and a little unpredictable, like it could tip either way at any moment.”
