After conquering the summer festival circuit, with performances at Spilt Milk, Falls, Heaps Good and Lost Paradise, as well as a stand-out at NZ’s Rhythm and Vines, Spacey Jane releases Lots of Nothing feat. BENEE via AWAL, alongside the song’s visualiser. Following the release, the band will embark on a 13-date UK and European tour in February.

Originally released in June 2021, ‘Lots of Nothing’, the first single from Spacey Jane’s ARIA #1 album Here Comes Everybody landed at #3 on the Triple J hottest 100 in 2022. Now, the internationally acclaimed Fremantle four-piece have joined forces with NZ’s alternative pop icon, BENEE, for a formidable rework of the original. With new production from Kon Kersting, the pop anthem features a dreamy new verse from BENEE on a powerful work of musical brilliance.

Frontman Caleb Harper has this to say of their very first collaboration, “We're so excited to have BENEE on this track! We've been fans of Stella for a long time and ever since we played together on Laneway (way back in 2020) she's been a dream collab for me. Stella really took the lead on her verse, it's new territory for us so we were lucky to have something we were really happy with from the start. It's so cool to see a song that I wrote over two years ago have new life breathed into it like this. We hope you like it as much as we do!”

BENEE adds, “I love Spacey Jane and it’s always fun collaborating with ma Aussie mates hehe! We all met playing Laneway Fest, pre Covid, so I was stoked to be asked to jump on this track! I really hope we can perform this remix live together!!

Taken from the working title of Wilco’s seminal album Yankee Hotel Foxtrot (one of the bands’ favourite albums) Here Comes Everybody sounds and feels like an album that has truly been lived in. Every note is imbued with hard-earned wisdom now being passed down to a new generation. The album features recent singles, Pulling Through, Hardlight, It’s Been A Long Day, Sitting Up, Lots of Nothing which landed at #3 on the Triple J hottest 100 and Lunchtime which also took out the #12 position on the coveted poll.

Here Comes Everybody also received a J Award nomination for Album Of The Year, picked up a nomination for Best Rock Album at the 2022 ARIA Awards, topped the Triple J listener Album Poll for the second time (placing them in the esteemed company of Tame Impala, Radiohead and Gotye) and they were the most played artist on Triple J in 2022. Spacey Jane also landed a massive two entries in the ARIA Top 10 Australian Albums for 2022, with Here Comes Everybody at #4 and Sunlight at #6.

Renowned for their energetic and dynamic live show, it’s been a heavy year of touring for the band, with over 30,000 tickets sold to their August Australian tour and 13 sold-out dates in the UK and Europe in May, alongside their sold-out 24 date North American tour.
