Australian indie-electronic duo BOO SEEKA, make their triumphant return with ‘Take A Look’, their first release via Daily Nightly Records and under new management with Untitled Group.

‘Take A Look’ is the long anticipated lead from the duo’s forthcoming sophomore album. The powerful track combines ethereal vocals, smooth synths and a distinct energy to create a sound that is uniquely BOO SEEKA. The duo have been busy in the studio working on album #2 with producer Matt Bartlem (previously worked with Matt Corby, Lastlings, Jarryd James) & a new live show that they’re excited to share with the world in 2020.

“Take A Look was a simple message to ourselves that we should have listened to a long time ago, and with it we’re excited to turn an inspiring new leaf,” says BOO SEEKA.

Since breaking out in 2015 with their debut hit ‘Kingdom Leader’, which has since accumulated over 15 million streams, BOO SEEKA have dominated national consciousness. The pair’s dynamic energy both in the studio and on stage has allowed them to stand out amongst Australia’s thriving music scene.

BOO SEEKA’S 2017 debut album ‘Never Too Soon’ was met with global acclaim with triple j describing the record as a “beautifully crafted, worldly-sounding body of work”. The album debuted at #8 on the ARIA album charts and earned the home-grown heroes coveted spots on esteemed festival lineups Beyond The Valley, Groovin The Moo and Splendour In The Grassas well as selling out numerous headline tours across Australia, North America and Europe.

In 2020 BOO SEEKA have set their eyes on writing, recording & releasing their much anticipated sophomore album. Watch this space!

With over 500 titles to his name, many of which have become certified platinum, MK has hundreds of millions of cumulative online streams. Throughout his illustrious career, he has remixed everyone from Inner City to HAIM and is now adding his Detroit-influenced house style to ‘On My Mind’.

This Ain’t Bristol label head Billy Kenny has also been called upon for remix duties on ‘On My Mind’.

On-the-rise Gold Coast singer-songwriter DOOLIE (Doolie Shadforth) today delivers her debut mixtape, titled with conviction and light-heartedness ‘hope u like my mixtape’. DOOLIE’s mixtape comes after a six-pack of artist-defining singles, the latest being empowering ‘It’s You Not Me’, produced with renowned electronic producer Kilter (Nicole Millar, Woodes, CLYPSO).

Having connected with a tight crew of notable producers including Kilter (It’s You Not Me), Moonbase (Only For A Night), GXNXVS (Attention, 2:20), Cam Nacson (Slow Crawl), ALIUS (Conflicted), Paces (Don’t Run) and POOLCLVB (Freefall), ‘hope u like my mixtape’ is a spotlight on a soaring 12 months in and out of the studio for DOOLIE, all leading up to this pivotal moment. “It’s been such a journey to get to this point, these songs represent different times in my life and have come together as a soundtrack I wish I had. I hope they connect with anyone going through a similar time in their lives. The collaboration process on this mixtape, has helped me grow so much personally, as well as a songwriter. I’m so thankful for all the amazing people I’ve worked with, and who’ve been part of the process with me,” explains DOOLIE.

‘It’s You Not Me’ is inspired by the emotional roller coaster of “coming out of a breakup and taking off those rose-coloured glasses”, explains DOOLIE. “All the frustration and anger boiling up to the point where you gain clarity. I wanted to emulate that emotion through this song, especially the feeling of deciding that you mean it when you say you’re not coming back.”

With a working relationship that stems back to performing together at Big Pineapple Festival in 2018, DOOLIE and Kilter have formed a powerful musical alliance reflected by this track. “Working with Kilter was so fun and he really captured the energy of the song in this production. He helped me change the structure up with a third verse instead of a bridge and I think that makes the song so much more impactful,” shares DOOLIE.

Fronting a compelling catalogue of releases, DOOLIE has become a mouthpiece for millennial romance with her sharp and playful lyrics, delivering a fresh blend of mid-tempo pop/R&B with a dramatic edge, most recently putting her in a finalist position for the Gold Coast Music Awards’ inaugural Gold Coast Music Prize, as well as the People’s Choice award. Her impressive live performance has further established her presence, seeing her take the stage at festivals like Splendour In The Grass, Falls Festival and Big Pineapple.

Praise for DOOLIE:

“…I stated that DOOLIE was an artist that still has a lot to show – and I think she has come a long way since then, with “Dark Waters” being a great step in the right direction for one of Australia’s best underrated voices.” – EARMILK

“She’s making pop that keeps you on the edge of your seat and her subtle vocal variations are super cool and intriguing.” – Declan Byrne, triple j Home and Hosed

“Doolie’s vocal, which glides with this almost-Teyana Taylor-esque sense of self-confidence and sensuality.” – Pilerats

“If you haven’t heard of Doolie, you will very soon.” – Futuremag Music

“I’ve talked about Doolie as a proponent of Australia’s nu-pop movement… she’s at the forefront of the vanguard, leading the pack with sword raised and draped in warpaint.” – Tommy Faith, triple j Unearthed

Aussie brothers, Travalley have today dropped their seriously fun, raucous new single, Dear Babe.  The track is accompanied by a fittingly bonkers video that sees the duo, Levi and Sam Mellington, munch through as many chillies as possible throughout the duration of the clip, and they’ll be celebrating the release with a livestream single launch on Saturday May 23 at 7pm on Instagram.

Upbeat and hooky as all getout, this driving indie rock track will be lapped up by fans of Lime Cordiale, The Jungle Giants, Hockey Dad and Skegss, and will have listeners toe-tapping, singing along with the insanely catchy backing vocals and coming back for more.  Recorded in a Melbourne home studio, engineered by Fabian Hunter and mixed and mastered by Austin Asvanonda (The War on Drugs), Dear Babe is about lead singer Levi’s lack of ability to be able to flirt or express how he feels. “I always manage to say the wrong thing or give too much away too early which tends to end up in the “what if I said this” situation happening over and over again and then repeating the process with the same results,” Levi explains.“About a year ago, I finally stuck to my guns and held back from blurting out everything about myself to a girl, I was so impressed with myself that I decided to write a song about all my past experiences, and now here we are! We just hope people really enjoy the song and get a laugh out of the film clip.”

Filmed and edited by Gareth Harrison (DJ for Yacht Club DJs who also tours regularly with DZ Deathrays and Dune Rats), the concept for the Dear Babe video was inspired by the DZ Deathrays The mess Up film clip where the guys drank as much alcohol over the duration of the song.  An extrapolation of this was then released by Dune Rats in Red Light Green Light where they smoked as much as they could.  Pretty chuffed with their ingeniousness with this video concept that is sure to set tongues wagging, and rightfully so, Levi explains, “We decided to continue the trend that these two amazing bands created, and stupidly ate as many chillies as we could within the time of the film clip. Little did we know that we ate far more than expected and experienced all sorts of pains for days after the video was filmed!”

Having spent a lifetime together, and the greatest part of it playing music together, the visceral bond present in their playing and their vocal harmonies is obvious, and their onstage banter is infectious.  And though the brothers have been combatting a heap of change during the Covid19 madness, they’re also able to see the positives. “We’ve had a lot more time to write new music and expand our sound, and we’ve had to come up with more creative ways to keep our fans engaged, but it’s also given us the opportunity to sit back and relax for the first time in a long time,” says Levi. “But like many other bands out there, we had to cancel our entire tour and a bunch of bookings too. The biggest thing we’ve missed is playing live to our amazing fans that travel to come see us play. Once this has passed and we are able to start playing music in front of people again, we can only imagine how amazing and hyped everyone will be to get out and have a great time.”

Dear Babe is released today.
