Velatine, the Melbourne-based project, has released its second single, We’re Not Suburban, a track written for the band’s new vocalist, Holly, as a reminder that true artists don’t conform.
The song is a darkwave meditation on teenage alienation and outsider identity. Beneath its sleek synthpop surface, it pulses with gothic imagery and the ache of feeling out of place, while also celebrating the sense of belonging found in counter-culture. It champions emotion over technical perfection, tracing a journey from youthful isolation to creative liberation, offering solace to anyone who has ever felt like an outsider, and inspiring them to follow their own artistic path.
Musically, We’re Not Suburban is a synth-driven piece that showcases Velatine’s growing vision, rich with ambition, and the momentum to propel the project into its next chapter.
