Slowly Slowly Return With New Single 'Parallel'

Aussie favourites Slowly Slowly have shared their new single 'Parallel' and announced the release of their sixth studio album, Everybody Tells The Truth, out Friday 5 February 2027 via Nettwerk Music Group.

Following their first single 'Sacrosaint', the indie rock outfit's latest taste of their new LP is a blissful three minutes of guitar euphoria that was road-tested by Slowly Slowly during their regional tour of Austrlaia in 2025.

"It's about dissociation – a montage of different times in my life where I've switched off and not been present," explains frontman and songwriter Ben Stewart. "I've always had a very weak ability to recall memories over my life, and I think I came to the realisation I was mentally heading elsewhere during formative years, so they didn’t make their way into the filing cabinets of my brain. It’s a lighthearted dig at dissociation and how memory obscures things like the truth."

Discussing the band's sixth album, Stewart dived back into Slowly Slowly's discography for direction, describing Everybody Tells The Truth as "an unadulterated version of Slowly Slowly that doesn’t sound like any other band."

Going back to basics, Stewart worked on the album alone in his own studio, a stark contrast to 2025's Forgiving Spree that involved collaborators and was written between Melbourne and Los Angeles.

"The whole catalogue has informed where this step went," Stewart says. "It captures the raw truth of Chamomile, the storytelling of St. Leonards, the emotional impact and revelation of Race Car Blues, the playfulness of Daisy Chain and the explosive precision of Forgiving Spree.

"Every song on the record was written in solitude with a guitar – things were fleshed out from there. At the same time, it was the first time I'd zoomed out with a global perspective. My own life bled into that as well – the shifting circumstances within my life felt like I was standing in quicksand, and then you’re watching the world sink at the same time on a big scale.

"The whole concept of truth is baked into these songs, because that’s what saves us in the end. Being true to ourselves is the only beacon that we can aim for."
