The Burbs’ latest single, ”Ladder To The Moon,” is an emotional and atmospheric track that embodies their signature blend of pop-rock and nostalgic lyricism. Released in July 2024, the single showcases the band’s roots in the Surf Coast/Geelong music scene, with clear influences from classic rock and Britpop. The song opens with a vocal sample and acoustic guitar progression, quickly drawing listeners into its introspective and haunting melody.
What makes ”Ladder To The Moon” stand out is its seamless fusion of genres. With Pink Floyd-esque guitar lines, Beatles-like keyboard arrangements, and a layer of psychedelic indie rock, the track carries a timeless sound while maintaining a modern edge. The Burbs excel at creating an immersive musical landscape, further enriched by vocal harmonies and lush chord progressions that crescendo into a gripping outro.
The metaphorical lyrics explore themes of loss and hope, making the track not just a musical experience but an emotional journey. ”Ladder To The Moon” will appeal to fans of soft rock ballads, indie rock, and classic rock alike. With this release, The Burbs continue to prove their place in the Australian rock scene. Be sure to catch their live shows as they prepare to return to the stage later this year.
