Ben Gillies Reveals Irresistible New Single "Dangerous Distractions"

Silverchair’s drummer and singer-songwriter, Ben Gillies, has released his irresistible new single “Dangerous Distractions” - the latest teaser from his upcoming EP, the relative relatives EP.

With a catchy synth pop sound, Ben is sonically and lyrically taking us on this journey of debating taking the jump on making a decision that gives into an irresistible desire you know is risky. He keeps the tempo up, like an exhilarated heartbeat, and eventually takes us head first into the intricacies of the song and his emotions.

Of the track, Ben Gillies said, “Dangerous Distractions is not one mood but many, and all of them part of the same grand adventure.” It opens with the fizz of discovery and attraction - the dangerous distractions - expressed through a subtle yet driving beat. This song portrays the push and pull of wanting and no wanting - of finding someone or something irresistible but wishing you didn’t - through the bop and swirl of immediately catchy synth pop that make the listener feel what the singer is going through, so that we hesitate then dive in right alongside him.

“Dangerous Distractions” is the fourth single from his future EP, the relative relatives EP. The first single of Gillies’ passion project was “Breathe In, Breathe Out”, an immediately memorable song that reminds us to pay attention to ourselves, to the people around us and to the world. The track showed the promise and accomplished new direction that manifested in follow-up singles “One Foot in Front of The Other” and “Yesteryear.”

With each release Ben has solidified his unique sound, drawing from his life experiences and love for music. “Dangerous Distractions” is another masterful piece that’s shown us his talent and vision. We can’t wait to hear more!
