Stella Donnelly - "Old Man"

We were both huge fans of Stella Donnelly's debut EP, Thrush Metal. Obviously we're going to be thrilled in March when her debut album is released. Right now we can check out the first single off that album now.

"Old Man" is a little smoother than the songs off Thrush Metal. It's a little less folk and a bit more pop. It's still a great singer/songwriter release. Donnelly is almost crooning in her Australian accent, and the songs has an almost slinky or seductive feel. Of course, then you listen to the lyrics about a groping, creepy old man (hence the title) and your skin begins to immediately crawl. "Old Man" is a great step in a slightly new direction, and we can't wait to hear the rest.

You can watch the video for "Old Man" below. Beware of Dogs, the debut album from Stella Donnelly, will be out March 8 on Secretly Canadian. You can pre-order the album here. For more on Stella Donnelly, check out her website. Current tour dates are below the video.
