Domestic La La is an Australian record label founded in 2017 by Violent Soho guitarist James Tidswell. It is a subsidiary of Unified Music Group, headquartered in Brisbane. Prominent artists include Dear Seattle, Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers, Teenage Joans and West Thebarton.

History[edit]

Named after a Violent Soho song, Domestic La La was founded in 2017 by the band's guitarist James Tidswell. The label is managed under Unified Music Group.[1] Its first two signings were Adelaide rock band West Thebarton and Sydney grunge group Dear Seattle.[2] Tidswell said managing his own imprint had been a life-long dream and that his approach was to "allow bands to be on a label with someone who is sympathising with the artist themselves".[3]

Record club[edit]

The label has released ten seven-inch singles through their own subscription service, Domestic La La Record Club. Each issue features two tracks from different groups, with the first featuring "Ivan" by West Thebarton's backed with "Dark Shadows" by Stork.[4]

"One Bad Day" is a song by Australian indie rock band Spacey Jane. It was released on 11 January 2024 and serves as a bookend between stylistic eras for the group, being written after the release of their second studio album, Here Comes Everybody (2022). It debuted at number 27 on the NZ Hot Singles Chart.[11]

Recording and release[edit]

In June 2022, Spacey Jane released their second studio album, Here Comes Everybody. At this time, while performing in Brisbane, frontman Caleb Harper spent time working with their producer Konstantin Kersting to "build on the past six months of collaboration with no real plan in mind".[12] The band subsequently wrote and recorded "One Bad Day" in both Australia and the United States, where they had been working on their forthcoming third album.[13] The song was released digitally as a standalone single on 11 January 2024.

Composition[edit]

"One Bad Day" is a "laid back groove" that contains "spacey, whirring synths" and a "zesty baseline".[14][15] Lyrically, Harper reflects on "overwhelming feelings" wanting him to "let go of valuable opportunities in the chaos of overthinking".[15][12] Tom Disalvo of Happy Mag said the song "finds Spacey [Jane] in their truest form" and is similar to the energy found on Here Comes Everybody.[15]

"Sitting Up" is a song by Australian indie rock band Spacey Jane. It was released on 10 February 2022 as the third single to their second studio album, Here Comes Everybody (2022). The synth-heavy, jangle rock song is written about frontman Caleb Harper's damaged mental state while in university.[16] It debuted to number 40 on the NZ Hot Singles chart and polled at number six in the Triple J Hottest 100 of 2022. In 2024, "Sitting Up" was certified gold by the Australian Recording Industry Association for selling 35,000 units.

Composition[edit]

Upon the song's release, Spacey Jane frontman Caleb Harper said it was written about his emotional state while in university, before he dropped out to pursue a career in music.[16] He continued: "I had no idea who I was, I was seriously depressed and completely spinning out."

Background[edit]

Spacey Jane released their second studio album, Here Comes Everybody, in June 2022.[18] Frontman Caleb Harper traveled to Los Angeles for recording and writing sessions in early 2023. He said to NME that the band would be more deliberate in finding time for writing their next project, concluding: "I think we’re going to try and ease into it a little more this time, which I’m excited for."[19]
