In support of their brand new single 91’ Your House, Ceres will be hitting the road through out February and March with special guest Jess Locke which will see them performin areas they’ve never toured before.

Tom Lanyon explains the inspiration behind the song and video for91’ Your House:“My dad died Christmas Eve, 1991 from lung cancer caused by cigarettes. I was only six at the time, and my memory is sometimes fuzzy and sometimes fierce about it all. I can’t believe that over 26 years ago it still bleeds into the songs I write. I can’t help it, don’t necessarily want to write about it, but it can flow out of me with such force that sometimes I wonder if I’ll ever be able to stop. It’s a seems to be an endlessly deep well for me to drag up from.

So when it came time to create the video for ’91, Your House—Callum Preston, GY and I thought about the best way to encapsulate this Well. The video contains over 600 hand-drawn illustrations from Callum, all depicting scenes from my old family home ‘Yarrabee’, number 63, in Ferny Creek, a mountain town in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne. I tried to think of the fuzzy memories, and knew the fierce ones would be right behind them.

I’m proud of this video, proud of how much work Callum has done, proud of ’91, Your House and Drag It Down On You.

Proud of the Deep Well too, maybe it’s the silver lining I just never knew I had.”
