Brisbane’s alt-rock heartbreakers The Comfort have dropped Down, and it’s a goddamn emotional sledgehammer wrapped in melody. This isn’t some casual toe-dip into darker waters, it’s a full-body plunge back into the band’s heavier beginnings, and it hits with the weight of every missed call, broken promise, and 3am identity crisis you’ve been avoiding.
Produced by Callan Orr (who clearly wasn’t f**king around), Down fuses the band’s signature introspection with guitars that grind just hard enough to bruise, without tipping into full-blown chaos. It’s rock with teeth - melodic, moody, and miserable in all the right ways.
Vocally, Dom Harper and Liam Holmes continue to be a one-two gut-punch of vulnerability. They don’t sing at you, they rip the feelings out of your own throat and make you sit in them. The chorus isn’t just catchy, it’s cathartic. When they ask “How many times can I lose everything?” - you’re not just listening, you’re remembering every moment you’ve asked yourself the same f**king thing.
This track is the start of something bigger, and the band knows it. As they head out across Australia supporting Chasing Ghosts (starting tonight in Adelaide) they’ll be bleeding this one live for the first time. Expect sweat, singalongs, and the collective emotional reckoning of an entire room screaming through their shit together.
The Comfort aren’t just here to play songs. They’re here to peel the bandages off. And Down proves they’re better than ever at making pain sound beautiful.
Go stream it. Loud. Preferably while crying into your steering wheel.
