Radio Free Alice And Rachel Brown (Water From Your Eyes) Team Up For 'Big Ideas'

10-01-2026

(Atlantic) Australian new wave/post-punk band Radio Free Alice share their new single "Big Ideas" featuring Rachel Brown of Water From Your Eyes. Taken from RFA's upcoming debut album What's In Between (Oct. 30 via Atlantic Records), the song was debuted live last week at the band's free, DIY pop-up show in LA.

Performing outside of NOON Projects art gallery in Chinatown, fans flocked to get an early listen to the band's new music. The official video for "Big Ideas" was taken straight from the show, capturing the frenzied energy of the moment.

On the collaboration, lead singer Noah Learmonth said, "From early on we felt that a second vocal would work well with the song, a kind of call and response. We had loved Water From Your Eyes for years, and had gone to their show when they came to Melbourne. We felt like Rachel would be perfect, they have such an interesting, distinctive voice."

He continues, "'Big Ideas' first came about in a time when we felt we were in a creative lull. We were writing a lot, but nothing good. 'Big Ideas' was the first song in a while we were pleased with. It was written in our storage unit in Melbourne where we rehearse. The riff came first and then the bass line."

Today's single and the album at large sees the band continue their work across continents with famed producer Peter Katis, who is known for his work with Interpol, Death Cab for Cutie, The National and many others. The album's production was also shaped by the keen ears of Ewan Pearson (Depeche Mode, Franz Ferdinand) and Finn Billingham.

The album artwork for What's In Between was shot by renowned Taiwanese-American skateboarder and photographer Jerry Hsu.
