PEPTALK LIVE PERFORMANCE
FIGURE IT OUT - SINGLE
FEATURING JEREMY NEALE
PLAY LENGTH - 03:29
LOCATION - Sydney, Australia
RELEASE DATE - 19 February 2025 (via Gyrostream)
A nostalgic look into the one that got away, ‘Figure It Out’ is a soaring synth pop track that questions if it’s better not to know how things might have been. The lyrics wrestle between hopefulness, regret and resignation, blending PEPTALK’s indie poptimism with Jeremy Neale’s melancholic retro pop. Longtime friends and collaborators PEPTALK and Jeremy Neale (of Velociraptor) have come together to create an 80’s inspired duet that offers a different perspective on an old told tale.
BIOGRAPHY
PEPTALK are your wholesome friends giving unsolicited advice.
Boasting two thirds queer, two thirds POC and all female, PEPTALK is determined to be the positive representation they longed for growing up. Made up of Jay-Lee Kwan (keys), Lara Frew (bass), and Phoebe Sinclair (lead vocals), PEPTALK’s presence has a comfort and confidence that only time and genuine friendship can bring.
Each songwriters at their core, they’ve written for artists and producers in the USA, Canada, Sweden, South Korea, France, New Zealand, UK and at home in Australia. Their collaboration with Aussie platinum-selling artist LDRU on his track “Alone Again” has garnered over a million streams. The group also self-produce, with Lara and Phoebe under their moniker 'Middleman’. In 2023 Lara and Phoebe were hand-selected by Troye Sivan and Lucas Keller to participate in APRA AMCOS’ pride songwriting camp, in partnership with World Pride and Sydney Lesbian and Gay Mardi Gras.
Formed on a mutual adoration for good songwriting, pop hooks and iconic women in the music industry, PEPTALK is influenced by the likes of Remi Wolf, MUNA and Chappell Roan. Their recent collaborations with Grammy nominated & Aria award winning artist Montaigne, and Aussie triple threat Keiynan Lonsdale saw praise and playlisting from ARIA’s Mixtape, Rolling Stone, Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, Junkee Magazine, the Lowdown, EQ Music Blog, Triple J & Unearthed. Fresh from performances at Sydney Festival, Bigsound 2024, Moomba Festival, St Kilda Festival, Sydney Fringe Festival, TedX Brisbane and at the FIFA Women’s World Cup, their live set is a vibrant sight to behold. The group have also supported Montaigne, Cry Club & Vetta Borne on their respective headline tours. PEPTALK bring an infectious energy along with a fierce desire to befriend literally everyone.
Their highly anticipated single 'Figure It Our' featuring Jeremy Neale releases on February 19.
