1.Your Profile

We’re a mellow-pop/chill/ambient three-piece from Melbourne. We’ve been told our sound fits between the clean tones of Daughter and The xx. Our ideal fan is easy-going and likes to hang out by the bonfire on a beach.

2.Keeping Busy

Recording new music and heaps of touring! We actually just finished supporting Mosquito Coast on their national tour, which was heaps of fun. In between those shows we’d been recording our new single ‘Hands Of Gold’ that’s just dropped. We’re about to take that track back on the road to play our own national tour that kicks off in Adelaide, so we’re getting super pumped for that.

3.Best Gig Ever

At the start of the year we played a low-key pop-up set at the Sydney Opera House Forecourt – that would definitely have to be a major highlight for us. It wasn’t on a huge stage or anything but it was just such a beautiful location to perform, and we were pretty stoked that music had taken us to such an iconic place. It’s been a bit of a dream to play by the water like that. Another great highlight would have to be the final sold-out show of the Mosquito Coast tour; there was just such great energy in that room!

4.Current Playlist

We’ve been getting into the latest tunes from a bunch of local performers like Lanks, The Winter Gypsy, Soft Corporate and Hollow Coves. One of the great things about touring so much is getting to check out all the cool acts popping up around Australia. It kind of forces you to get out and see all the bands doing good things in the live scene, which is really refreshing after being in the studio for so long. Recently I went out to see JaysWays (an upcoming producer from Sydney) at The Warehouse here in Melbourne. It was his first interstate show and it was awesome to see how his project has grown. He’s a super talented kid!

5.Your Ultimate Rider

We’ve always joked about how great it would be to have an inflatable fox onstage. Or an ultimate green room that’s decked out for band naps.
