Jordan Laser Releases Her New Track “Under The Wheel”
Jordan Laser has released her catchiest and most energetic single to date, “Under The Wheel.” The new single is crafted over driving beats, with a soundscape at once melancholic and uplifting, and reveals Jordan as a songwriter unafraid to plough new musical fields.
“Under the Wheel'' was recorded between The Grove, Alex Markwell’s Melbourne studio and Jordan’s home and is another testament to her growing depth and maturity as a songwriter.
“I wrote Under The Wheel at the end of 2018 after an awful breakup, not realizing until the end of the relationship that I’d been caught in a narcissists web and loved someone who wasn’t in fact a very nice person.I guess this song is me untangling myself from that web, swinging between feelings of desperation and liberation, and making my way into a new life,” said Jordan Laser.
Jordan continues to say, “Sound wise I was leaning into my love of 90s electronic music, listening to a lot of Moby again and re-discovering Madonna’s ‘ray of light’ era...and maybe trying to capture a little bit of that nostalgia.”
This single follows Jordan’s two most recent tracks “Slow Motion” and “100 Days of Solitude.” Both of these releases cemented Jordans signature sound in the confines of indie-pop ballads with a haunting edge, brooding soundscapes, and vocals to kill. Jordan Laser’s essence is raw, slow burning and somewhat mysterious.
An exponent of moody, alternative pop, Sydney-based singer-songwriter and producer Jordan Laser creates songs that are arrows aimed straight at the heart. Reminiscent of some of her musical heroes – Kate Bush, Massive Attack and Stevie Nicks – her songs are also indicative of something much deeper: an ancestral line of musicians. This track is a beautiful addition to Jordan’s unique artistry, cementing her place as an indie-pop siren.
We can’t wait to see where Jordan Laser takes us in 2022!
