Lloyd & The Leftovers Bring It Around With Album Title Track 'Spin The Wheel' and Announce Album Release Date

Lloyd & The Leftovers take a moment to get honest in their debut album's title track, 'Spin The Wheel', and explore the daydream in its companion music video, both out on Friday, July 11. Their debut album will follow on Friday, August 8.

Hailing from Walyalup (Western Australia), Lloyd & the Leftovers are five-piece indie-folk/rock band that take the sounds of americana and adds an Australian twist.  Known for their vibrant live shows and DIY recordings, they've left their mark on the scene at festivals like In The Pines RTRFM Festival and the City of Fremantle Winter Festival, and see a range of support from Apple Music, ABC Country, Double J, RTR FM, AAA Backstage and many more.

Harmonica and unconventional percussion add a country twang to Lloyd & The Leftovers' indie folk/rock sound in their album's title track 'Spin The Wheel'. Built from strings of emotions, this single is packed with the authenticity that Lloyd & The Leftovers is known for. With vocals packed with longing, singer-songwriter Luke Giglia-Smith takes a walk through a love confession:

"I want the song to give a sense of longing for someone and weighing up feelings for someone who lives that same life of working on the road, always being far away from home and out of service, counting the days until you can get back and lift all the weight of these feelings off your chest."

Shot like a short film, the music video dives into a daydream of a fish and chip shop worker as she finds escapism in a love story with herself and a customer at the centre. Contrasting the dull tones of a fish and chip shop with the warm and sun-soaked colours of the day dream, the girl imagines a life with the man, complete with arguments  and apologies, dances and drives, until she comes back into reality at the end, simply exchanging a smile with him.

The careful composition of the song and video offer a salted and paper-wrapped taste to their upcoming album, when it comes out on Friday, August 8. With 11 tracks written over the course of 2 years, the album pieces together a broader narrative arc. With a generally positive theme, the album explores love and longing, along with soft thoughtful ballads about finding oneself in the flurry of life. This free-flowing sketchbook of ideas link together to echoes the experiences of Lloyd & The Leftovers, as they reflect on what it represents:

"For us this big dynamic spectrum between the songs feels like it kind of follows the seasons, most of the songs written in cold months were recorded the following years, in the winter of 2024 and 2025, and then the more carefree moments written early 2023 were recorded in February 2024 when we initially started live tracking the album. It's these broad vignettes of time and memory that as a band we feel represent us to our core, as players and as artists. As a songwriter I feel they all mean a whole heap to me, like a sound journal, by the end if shifts to quite a lonely tone, in a bitter-sweet and retrospective way."

Fall in love with Lloyd & The Leftovers' new single 'Spin The Wheel' and its music video when they release on Friday, July 11, and daydream about the album that lies ahead on Friday, August 8.
