Listen: East – “Old Age”

East is the moniker of a young songwriter from New South Wales, Australia, and this is about all the information you can find out about her at the moment. The singer has released her first track, the majestic “Old Age”, while the mystery surrounding her slowly matures.

“Old Age” shows off a confident, broody and angsty songstress in East, with the track being a snarky view on the unease of being a misfit. East seems to be affected by the malaise brought about by being too mature for her age and, like an Australian Daria, seems to have a quite a bleak view on life itself. Led by a stomping keyboard refrain, the song sets a fertile ground for an unavoidably catchy chorus, with plenty of choral “oohs” to boot.

This Central Coast songwriter, with her deep, confident and bold delivery, is one to look out for.
