New South Wales duo Surely Shirley have announced the release of their new EP Petticoats & Pistols, arriving Friday 19 February.

Comprising twin sisters Anisha and Jenaya Okpalanze, Surely Shirley have also shared their latest single, 'Mine! Mine! Mine!'.

A nostalgic '60s-inspired Doo Wop pop song combining old Hollywood romance with the indie pop of Bats for Lashes, 'Mine! Mine! Mine!' is a charming Mariachi-infused track with some absolutely gorgeous harmonies.

'Mine! Mine! Mine!' follows the pair's recent single 'Heartblush', which landed at #1 on Spotify's The Picnic List and marks a new era for Surely Shirley, who have gained more fans this year through not only their music, but also their social media presence, with Jenaya recently capturing global attention through her viral Sissy Sailor animation reimagining Rizzo from Grease.

Growing up surrounded by music from the '60s, Surely Shirley takes inspiration from the likes of The Beach Boys and The Del-Vikings, blending their timeless sound and cinematic storytelling across music, fashion and visual arts.

The sisters have also proven themselves a compelling live act, selling out their previous EP tour across Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane and winning more fans with performances at SXSW in Austin, Lost Paradise, Party in the Paddock and Yours & Owls.

Surely Shirley have also supported Don West, Infinity Song and Kate Bollinger and collaborated with brands including Beginning Boutique, Sisters and Seekers and Rimmel London.

'Mine! Mine! Mine!' is out now. Listen here. Petticoats & Pistols is out Friday 19 February. Pre-save here.
