Today, Spacey Jane premieres their latest single, ‘How to Kill Houseplants’, whose lineage traces back to the power-pop balladry of 80s Aussie bands Icehouse and INXS. The heartbreaking track sees frontman Caleb Harper confront his inability to repair a relationship as he battles the temptation to walk away. “I feel awful and I want to save this thing and I don't know how to do it,” Harper admits, adding wryly of the houseplant-relationship metaphor, “I should know how to do this by now, but I don't: I've killed 35 creeping ivies.”
Alongside the new single is the news that the band will be taking their live show around Australia and New Zealand in June in support of their forthcoming album If That Makes Sense, which is set for release on 9 May. The extensive tour starts on 27 May in Wellington, before heading to Christchurch and Auckland. They then land back in Brisbane for the start of the Australian leg on 4 June, hitting every capital city along with a few regional stops before finishing with a hometown residency in Perth.
They will be supported on the tour by the talents of The Moving Stills and Phoebe Go who will alternate slots for each stop.
Formed in Perth, Western Australia in 2016, Spacey Jane have expanded their reach far beyond their hometown. With more than half a billion streams to date and countless sold-out tours, the band has built a loyal following through their dreamy, vulnerable sound and unforgettable live performances.
