about
Temporary Solution is a punchy song that addresses living through climate change and our collective exasperation at the lack of action, through the allegory of iced tea during a heatwave. It was primarily written during the black summer where Melbourne was clogged with smoke from the nearby fires and is, therefore, a desperate yet comedic cry for meaningful change and not just short term solutions.
lyrics
Going down to my local IGA
I feel the sweat dripping down my back
I shouldn’t have worn jeans today
It’s thirty-eight degrees outside
I feel ecstasy when I feel air conditioning
I feel like dancing it’s so cool
I feel like dancing to the cheesy 80s music
Thats playing in the, playing in the, playing in the
I-G-A
I-G-A
I-G-A
I-G-A
They’re not doing anything about the heat
And now I can’t see ‘til the end of my street
Maybe the government should pay for my iced tea
(Gimme gimme, gimme gimme iced tea)
It’s a temporary solution
To the amount of air pollution
You get about twenty minutes of pleasure
For me and my band, me and my band, me and my band
It’s a temporary, temporary solution
(Gimme gimme, gimme gimme iced tea)
Yeah it’s a temporary, temporary solution
(Gimme gimme, gimme gimme iced tea)
Not a good time, not a good time to be human
(Gimme gimme, gimme gimme iced tea)
It’s all just a temporary, temporary solution
(Gimme gimme, gimme gimme iced tea)

Opener absolutely rips. Falls into the ranks of tracks like “Dance” by ESG, “Eisbaer” by Grauzone, “Damaged Goods” by Gang of Four or like the album description says Kleenex. This is some really good stuff. Favorite song is the opener but dedicate “Blue” to my friend Blue who lost her life at 22, she would have loved this album. TheBloodofChrist

Is this one of the cutest post punk/ New Wave all girl bands on the planet? YES! Melbourne is brewing some great Muzak, thank heavens for Bandcamp, Radio in Australia has been obsolete for 40+ years. James .R. Dixon

This whole album sounds so original and refreshing. The subjects of their songs touch on so many facets of our daily lives inc going to centrelink!!! Also note that my vinyl pressing of this album is far superior than most other indie releases. Philshine
