Lockdown is proving to be fruitful for the Sydneysiders.

Having dropped a string of singles and EPs that have been tattooed into the minds of fans across Australia and beyond, Sydney quartet PLANET are today sharing the news that will probably come as a shock to no one: they’ve signed with Aus label Dew Process and Run OnRecords/Modern Sky UK. The juicy bit for us PLANET diehards is that it also comes with whispers of a debut record and shiny soon-to-be classic track ‘Resign’.

Following on from recent singles ‘Never Knew’ and ‘Imaginary’, ‘Resign’ sees them continue to flex their songwriting chops seemingly without breaking a sweat. Written, recorded and now delivered in lockdown, lines like “I’m breaking at the seams, life is always short” jump out and embody the bittersweet (but mostly bitter) state of affairs in Australia right now.

“Resign is a pop summer anthem with the instrumentation hitting you straight in the face. Lyrically it’s about not being enough in someone’s eyes, and it affects you to the point of collapse but trying to break past it to make it work,” frontman Matty Took says of the track.

“It’s the first track we’ve released that was written completely in lockdown. I had the chorus laying in the vault and sent it back and forth with Matty, fleshing it out and finishing it off,” guitarist Tom Peppitt adds. “It was an obvious first single choice for us, doesn’t stray too far from our sound and is super upbeat and catchy.”

With all these big moves and what we understand to be a huge bunch of songs in the vault, we’re predicting that an album announcement isn’t too far off either. The only question now is whether they’ll be conquering Australia or Europe first… Stay tuned!
