Sydney’s Loretta have just delivered one of the best indie-pop anthems you’ll ever hear, with ‘Late Night’ arriving ahead of its official release this week.

Any musician will agree that it’s almost impossible to create a track that is destined for success right from the outset, but for Sydney’s Loretta, it feels as though this is an effortless undertaking, with latest single ‘Late Night’ feeling almost destined to dominate the charts.

Having been on the scene for a few years now, the quartet have been busy creating memorable indie anthems at every turn, with their most recent single arriving by way of March’s ‘left u on read’.

Slick, soulful, and reminiscent of acts like Pinkish Blu and the chart-topping success story of The 1975, their latest track is one for the ages, with ‘Late Night’ feeling like the enduring sort of hit that will soundtrack many titular evenings.

“‘Late Night’ recalls the events of the first 24 hours after you meet someone you’re completely infatuated with, a day in the life of any 20-something,” the group explain.

“Ellis [Hoare] brought in the initial idea and after being inspired by a conversation he’d had with a friend. Once he got started the song pretty much wrote itself. The rest of us fleshed out the arrangement a few different ways until we landed on something we were happy with. Following that some of our very talented friends had some fantastic ideas that really brought it all to life.”

A stunning chapter in the story of a band who have had some admirable success in just a few years, ‘Late Night’ undoubtedly stands as an example of what the future holds for these amazing musicians.
