Melbourne legends Hollywood Models have dropped a brand new pair of tracks that accurately and depressingly detail the journey of growing old in a party scene that stays young.
The double single, ‘The Party Life’ and ‘Adult Party Life’, are two different songs but both telling the same story. ‘The Party Life’ is an ode to being young, poor, and doing whatever you can to scramble enough coins to buy a six pack and party all night – ‘Adult Party Life’ is the other side of the same coin.
“If you’re going to the party then you better bring your wife,” is whispered over and over again during the introduction of the song, hinting that the older you get, the less fun the all-night boogies become. Your friends go home early, you’re the last one left dancing, and the daunting realisation that your youth is long behind you finally hits at 6 am.
Regardless, the double singles are both absolute party tunes, and with catchy melodies and lyrical hooks that will get trapped in your head all day, you’ll be caught in the roller coaster of elation and melancholy.
To enjoy your youth, or relieve it – you can catch this six-piece outfit play on the 11th of November at Bar Open in Melbourne, and until then lament the unrelenting march of time with these new numbers below.
