With the release of their new single ‘In Morphine’, Eora/Sydney trio Jet City Sports Club have fully engaged in an exciting new chapter. Before the indie group hits the road for their first headline tour of the East Coast this month, they revel in the rush of releasing new music – ‘In Morphine’ providing additional weight to the band’s set and overall body of work.

What started as a simple direction to “create a song that had more space and emotional weight than we usually lean into”, ‘In Morphine’ wound up leading Jet City Sports Club down a special creative path that unlocked new layers of chemistry within the band as a result.

They say, “We had the full song written early on, but the verse never quite sat right. The chorus had impact, but the verse needed more. A few months later, we came back to it with fresh ears and dug deeper into the meaning.

“We talked a lot about distance, and the ache of missing someone you can’t reach. The lyric “hate that you’re lonely” became a turning point. It felt honest and powerful, like it held everything we were trying to say. The whole process was deeply collaborative. It was one of those songs that revealed itself slowly, through trial and reflection, and those rare moments where everything clicks and you find the exact words to match a feeling.”
