Bakers Eddy have today released their new video for the track titled ‘Dust On My Brain’ from their upcoming EP ‘I’m Doing Better’, dropping June 6th via ADA, a division of Warner Music Australia.
More of an actual video that just happens to have lyrics, the visuals perfectly match the sound and soulful syncopation that the music entails and engulfs. Just in time for summer, said summer just got a bit hotter and brighter with a hook-filled soundtrack that we’re getting a preview of in anticipation of June 6th.
Simply feeling like a good time and sounding like a message meant for the masses, you can’t help but feel optimistic about a song that was written in a rut. Life lessons learned and a soul poured straight into the music, Bakers Eddy let you know that you are not alone in the bad times as well as the good. It’s all how you make it.
About ‘Dust On My Brain’
Following on from their successful run of shows at New Colossus in NYC and SXSW in Austin, the band returns with a follow-up to their first single “Manners Street” with a song that addresses mental health and the struggles to maintain it.
“Dust on my brain comes from a feeling of having the walls close in around you, and being trapped in self-destructive cycles. I wasn’t sleeping. I wasn’t going out, seeing people. Just spinning myself out with negativity and stress and making bad coping decisions. I don’t tend to write songs when my mental health is struggling, but this one kind of poured out when I was at my lowest, and it ended up being the catalyst for change, which I’m very grateful for. It made me excited to make music, so most of the EP was written because of ‘Dust’.”

About Bakers Eddy
Bakers Eddy formed as teenagers in 2011 in Wellington, New Zealand. Led by charismatic Ngati Porou & Ngati Tuwharetoa front man Ciarann, the band of four friends (rounded out by Ian, Alex, and Jamie) relocated to Australia and since then have built a live show that has become the stuff of legend. Carving out a niche all their own with a sound that straddles the punk and pop worlds, and a show that veers from chaotic to tender, Bakers Eddy make everyone who comes to their shows feel part of their whanau.
Bakers Eddy released their debut album, Love Boredom Bicycles, in March 2022. Recorded with Oscar Dawson (Vacations, Alex Lahey) at the helm, the album spawned the infectious singles ‘21’, ‘Concertina’, and ‘My Baby’s Like Cigarettes’. Having supported Maggie Lindeman, Stand Atlantic, and Grandson, Bakers Eddy are ready to take on the world. Their forthcoming EP was self-produced with Vince McIntyre (Fan Girl) and mixed by Justin Gerrish (Vampire Weekend, The Strokes, Weezer) and will be out later in 2025.
