Where are you currently based?
We are currently based in Boorloo, Perth,, chillin.
How did you first start playing music?
I was given a guitar as a child, then was spoken to by the musical gods and learned my one true calling was to play music and with this, I began to write music. And with that, here we are. Welcome.
What’s been happening recently?
Music-wise we’ve started to really get into it, we’ve got a lot of new tunes we’re really excited about! We’ve just been playing a lot of shows and feeling them lows. We’ve also been a bit sad, and that’s not all bad. It’s important to feel as sad as possible when writing music so emotion can be successfully portrayed.
What influenced the sound and songwriting for your new single ‘Wish you’d show’?
Mainly Mac de Marco and Kate Bollinger, with a dash of Vampire Weekend. Big fan of how they can make such stripped back music sound so good.
How did you go about writing Wish you’d show and what does this track mean to you?
This track and “Sun may shine” were kind of written at the same time, Harry came over and did some Saxophone overdubs on a beat I came up with while Isaiah was asleep on the couch. Our old bass player Dan came around after and tracked some fantastic bass bits after. It’s by far our favourite song at the moment, and it’s a classic little love song. There’s definitely heaps out there, but they always mean the most to whoever’s making them!
Your debut EP is on the way, please tell us about your journey with this EP:
This EP has a special place in my head as it’s been completely produced and mixed in my room on GarageBand. Starting out I didn’t have too much to work with and I feel like a nice unique sound has come out of the process. I’ve been sitting on these tracks for a while, and was pretty unsure how they’d be received. We’ve had some awesome support lately, and it feels really good to get them out.
What can we expect?
Life. Thrills. Freedom.
Where and when did you record/produce/master and who did you work with?
All tracks were mastered with Gareth Henderson (thanks Gareth), everything else was done with the band in my bedroom.
How did you approach the recording process?
I usually just play around on the guitar or a synth and see if anything nice comes out of that, that’s usually the first step. Then I sing over whatever I have, and build everything else from there. Every song’s a little different!
Who are you listening to at the moment?
A lot of Kate Bollinger, and a local resurfaced band Butter who are just amazing.
What do you like to do away from music?
Play with animals, change the world, and inspire the generation to come.
What’s planned for 2022 going into 2023?
We’re absolutely loving playing live gigs around town, so we’ll keep doing that! We love reworking the songs for live performances, keep its really fun for us and hopefully people who come see us as well. We’ve got another EP ready to go as well, stay tuned…
Favourite food and place to hangout?
We love getting burgers at Flipside in Freo, and see whatever is going on at Mojo’s. Perhaps even have a nice beverage, if we’re feeling crazy.
