‘Useless Shit’ is the first single from Lincoln le Fevre & The Insiders’ long awaited forthcoming album 'Come Undone', produced by Mike Deslandes (The Nation Blue, Hoodlum Shouts) and set for release via Poison City this July. The new single is accompanied by a video clip produced by Sam Orchard in a Yarraville backyard on a rainy Melbourne weekend; filled with Australian suburban charm and featuring comedian Aaron Gocs, Erina Rossi and assortment of local legends!
Australia has a notable fondness for the ‘every man.’ This encompasses the kind of relatable, not-so-every-day performers that steal the imagination of audiences wherever they roam. This rare breed tells stories through music, so fantastic and amorous that they wind around hearts, reach into heads. Enter Tasmania’s Lincoln Le Fevre and his band The Insiders.
Lincoln le Fevre & The Insiders walk the line between dark Australian rock and soulful, brooding country-punk. From his past '30 Watt Heart' and 'Resonation' albums, Le Fevre's song writing continues to be immediately relatable and 100% approachable. It is real words and real music. Borne out of the freezing waters of the Derwent River, his verbose lyrical style, confident musical delivery and rich vocal timbre are stirring to behold.
One of Hobart’s most admired songwriters; Lincoln Le Fevre has largely been a state secret until recently. He subscribes to the grand tradition of chord striking, richly orchestrated, narrative songs. And while this obviously calls to mind national treasure Paul Kelly, it also deftly references the styles of artists of such artistic pedigree as Ryan Adams, Lucero and Raymond Chandler. The result is Lincoln’s very Australian, very sumptuous canon of songs that relate the stories of people just like him: the ‘every day folk.’
