In the past couple of years, Hachiku bandleader Anika Ostendorf found herself dealing with darker themes; a 25-year-old’s quarter-life crisis around growing up, changing views and feeling mounting frustrations.
The Melbourne-based band, known for their self-produced dream-pop jams release a new single & video, ‘Shark Attack,’ a study of loss and grieving, following a grim diagnosis of Ostendorf’s family dog Lexus.
Ostendorf says of ‘Shark Attack’: “If you’re like my friend Tushara you might think this song is about oral sex. I think it very clearly references my little dog childhood best friend Lexus being diagnosed with throat cancer and the emotional devastation his looming death left me in.
