Jerrah Patston has recorded a song for the latest Bus Stop Films production ‘Head Over Wheels’, starring outgoing Australian Of The Year Dylan Alcott.
The film is a ‘one-take romcom’, and Jerrah contributed ‘Falling For You’ – produced by Wade Keighran (Wolf + Cub).
The song evokes pastoral Led Zeppelin via ‘Magical Mystery Tour’, and is out on January 30 (bandcamp and streams).
‘Falling For You’ studies the exhilaration and confusion of new love, and features Jerrah’s affecting double tracked vocals repeating the haunting hook: “try something new, it might be good for you”.
Accompaniment comes from Noel Arens (mellotron and electric piano), Genevieve Clay-Smith (backing vocals) and Sam Worrad (guitar).
Jerrah is a musician from the Blue Mountains, and is noted for his unique, whimsical style.
He released his debut album ‘Sounds Like Rain’ in 2020, and he has followed the release with a single (‘If Spring Could Sing’) and a live album (‘Sing Exactly Like That’).
Jerrah is working on a second album, ‘Going Places’, due early May. The first taste of the new album arrived on October 6 in the form of ‘The Wollongong Song’, recommended for fans of The Beach Boys and classic Flying Nun bands.
