Alex Lahey led her 2017 debut album, I Love You Like a Brother, with "Every Day's the Weekend", a bright rush of a single about falling so hard for someone that you're together constantly and the rest of your life slides off the table. The Australian songwriter has talked about the urge to throw a sickie just to hang out, and what it costs: losing sight of what matters to you on your own.
She wrote it alone and plays much of it herself, singing lead over her electric guitar, bass, alto sax and keys, plus a cupboard of glockenspiel, marimba, vibraphone, xylophone, timpani and tubular bells. Oscar Dawson added guitar, keys and percussion and engineered and mixed it, Liluzu drummed, and Ali Barter and Bec Sandridge sang backup with Dawson. It won Best Independent Single at the 2018 AIR Awards and went gold in 2019.
