Wet Denim Release New Single ‘Lonely (For A While)’

To celebrate the release, Wet Denim have already played a ripping show at Auckland’s Big Fan and will take the stage at their local stomping ground San Fran in Wellington on Saturday 26 April. Tickets are on sale now via wetdenim.com

Written during a session following the completion of their 2022 debut EP, ‘Lonely (For a While)’ has evolved alongside the band over the past two years. What began as a groovy, pop-leaning track has transformed through relentless live performances into an urgent rock banger. This release is Wet Denim’s first song recorded entirely live in-studio, capturing the raw energy and chemistry of their dynamic sound.

‘Lonely (For a While)’ dives into themes of breaking free from unhealthy relationship cycles and learning to be content in solitude. The track pairs soaring vocal hooks and reflective lyrics with the lively guitar work that has become a Wet Denim signature – this time driven by bassist Joe Ledword’s debut on bass synthesiser. Produced by Wet Denim and Dan Goodwin, mixed by Neil MacLeod, and mastered by Chris Chetland at KOG Studios, the single embodies the band’s continued evolution and their commitment to pushing sonic boundaries.

“This track feels like a strong new direction for us, a song that captures the essence of our dynamic live sound. It’s developed over the course of the past three years; from a track that was characterised by pop production, into a heated rock anthem,” the band shares.

The song’s release comes after a monumental year for Wet Denim. Alongside festival appearances and international support slots, recent highlights include completing an Australasian tour in support of On The Line, performing sold-out shows with Drax Project across Aotearoa, and making their arena debut supporting US heavyweights Highly Suspect.

Fans can experience the band’s explosive sound live at their Wellington release show on  Saturday April 26th at San Fran. Tickets are available now.
