Antony Jeffares new single ‘We Carry On’

Antony Jeffares delivers glistening 70’s grooves on his follow up single We Carry On.

Following the release of Wrong/Loss earlier in 2019, Antony’s back with his second offering, We Carry On, out on all platforms, December 6 2019.

Finding his sweet spot somewhere between Peter Gabriel, Carole King and The Human League, his sound is heavily influenced by the Laurel Canyon scene of the 70’s and new wave pop of the 80’s. We Carry On was co-written by Mark Perkins (Merk) and mixed by Shannon Fowler (Shannon Matthew, Vanya, Tom Lark).

“I’d been stuck on this song, and so brought in my good friend Merk to help rework the chorus, and we got it feeling right. I was really channeling Dr Hook on the production, and even managed to sneak a flute solo in there.. The song is a simple ode to getting through the tough moments.”

The video is both an exploration of Auckland and introduction to Antony as a performer. Shot by film maker Olive Jeffares. “I wanted to embrace Auckland and capture it with all it’s local charms. I thought it would be funny to get on a tourist hop on hop off bus and hit all the Auckland “hot spots”. There’s something about the bus that resonates with the song.. it just keeps going and going. We went out and had fun for a day and shot a bunch of Antony being a dork.”
