Breakout Australian singer-songwriter Peach PRC today releases her new single ‘Symptomatic’. The song is a glorious rush of classic synth-electronica pop with a melancholic undercurrent with the lyrics detailing Peach’s struggles with mental health: ‘Don’t throw out your meds cause you had a good day” she sings.

“One of the features of my mental illness is I can have really low periods and then swing into an incredible high manic period,” Peach explains. “When this happens, I feel like I’m invincible and get really excited about doing lots of stuff—like learning to speak Italian, play 5 instruments, or become a crystal healer! Every time, I think I’ve been cured of my depression and mental struggles forever! My therapist once compared me to Harley Quinn while I am in this state – that kind of bothered me. Then I thought, why don’t I write a song about being on this high and thinking I’m cured and just embrace the fuck out of the Harley-Quinn-of-it-all! And that song is ‘Symptomatic’.”

After amassing a huge following on TikTok Peach PRC made major waves earlier this year with the release of her first major label single ‘Josh’, an iconic synthpop kiss-off to an ex-boyfriend who just wouldn’t go away. The track has attracted close to 8 million international streams to date and climbed into the top 40 of the official Australian singles chart. With the release of ‘Symptomatic’, Peach PRC is proving she is one of the most promising pop artists in Australia today, with the ability to create the kind of perfect 3 minute pop songs that pop fans dream of. With her debut EP coming very soon, expect great things from Peach PRC throughout the rest of 2021.

‘Symptomatic’ is out now via Island Records. You can download and stream here.
