Alternative indie outfit, DUDE, MY DUDE have achieved notable success since releasing their debut single ‘Loser’ just last year – tallying up 2.6 million streams and counting for that one song alone. Since then they’ve released a handful of additional singles, broadening their catalogue ahead of their tour with Cassia next month. One of said songs in question is ‘Eleanor’s Detour’, which was created in response to a short film made by a friend, titled “Lucy” which sets the scene of a house party that goes somewhat unexpectedly for the protagonist. It’s a cleverly written track which in spite of it being something of a concept song, taps into the relatability of being a naive teenager.
