After the music press sang their praises last year after the release of their third studio album, If That Makes Sense, Freo quartet Spacey Jane return in 2026 with their first taste of new music in the form of the single ‘Do You Really Love Her’.
A playful jolt of indie rock, the track was written on Mulholland Drive in the Hollywood Hills and has a much more cinematic feel to it than previous releases.
“‘Do You Really Love Her’ was born out of the If That Makes Sense writing sessions. For some reason the song didn't feel like the right fit for the album, but we always wanted it to see the light of day,” the band shares.
“Written with Sarah Aarons and Joel Little, then taken to John Hill for production, we referenced lush ‘80s pub rock in the studio. Australian bands like INXS, The Church and Icehouse are both nostalgic and inspirational to us. It's part fiction, part reality. A dream about being stood up by your date only to see them on a movie screen and the experience of yearning for a connection and losing someone to time, distance or another life.
“This release and the others to follow are almost experiments. Songs we love that didn't end up on an album. Something we want to share while we take stock and reset.”
