Alt-Country Artist Lachie Hayes Drops New Southern-Blues Single ‘Subsatellite'
Press Release – Blackout Music Management Following on from previous singles, the haunting ' This River ', and evocative ' S.O.B.', Hayes once again delivers a rich blend of rural blues, folk-country, and rockabilly-swamp with his warm, masterful musicianship and classic story-telling lyricism. 'Subsatellite' is a musical commentary on how Hayes views the wider landscape of the musical world, and how your placement on that global map that does not signify the value or importance of creative output. Lachie Hayes explains: 'A subsatellite is an undiscovered, yet theoretically possible, celestial object, a small world that orbits a moon instead of a sun or a planet. It's not at the centre of the solar system, it's not a big, shining body close to a superstar, and it's not even a satellite of a main player. It exists on the fringes of the fringes, far from the brightest and the biggest. But that doesn't mean it's insignificant. Sometimes, here in the deep south of New Zealand, I find myself in a similar position. We're not big players like in Hollywood, New York, or London. We're not the smaller planets of Australia, or even a well-known satellite like Auckland. We're the outskirts of the outskirts, frequently underestimated and easily labelled. It's simple to look at a small, distant world and say there's nothing there, that it's a barren place with nothing to offer. But we know better. We may be far from the bright lights, a small spot on the map, but it's filled with character, creativity, and a unique soul. This song came from that feeling, I am a subsatellite, but I have wheels within wheels, I am more than meets the eye. This song tells the story of how small towns are more than barren worlds. We're alive, we're ambitious, and we're ready to prove it.' Hayes recorded his new album at MASSAV Studios, with revered music luminary DELANEY DAVIDSON at the helm, producing. On hearing these recordings, Southland label MASSAV Records was launched to sign Hayes as the first artist on their roster, marking an exciting achievement for this award-winning songwriter. On stage, he is not just a musician but a storyteller; a gifted multi-instrumentalist performer who embodies the rhythm, grit, and nuance that captivates audiences. Lachie is set to capture a much wider audience so listen out for his new album SUBSATELLITE set for release 16 July.
