Perth-based pop icon Skyuka releases the incredibly catchy track, ‘Michael Cera’. With a blend of indie rock, ’90s fuzz and a touch of humour, this infectious tune will be your favourite bop of the year.

‘Michael Cera’ showcases Skyuka’s unique blend of upbeat pop melodies alongside introspective, witty lyrics. It tells a relatable story of falling for someone who you just can’t seem to escape from, and the frustration that comes with it. It’s a reflection on unrequited love, delivered with Skyuka’s lightheartedness and sass.

“When I wrote Michael Cera I was listening to a lot of Vampire Weekend and just  really enjoying the playfulness of their earlier albums which influenced the writing process of this song. It felt refreshing to write something fun that people could clap and sing along to and have a laugh at, but still had a lot of heart.

I was basically telling myself I didn’t want to see this person anymore because of their  addictive tendencies…but at the same time I felt like a huge hypocrite as I was clearly addicted to them.”

Joining forces with Debaser Studios in Perth, Skyuka collaborated with Andy Lawson (Noah Dillon, Death By Denim, Drapht, Tired Lion), who beautifully mixed and mastered ‘Michael Cera’.
