Southern Skies
We locked ourselves up in the same house as soon as the Melbourne quarantine hit, and during that month we wrote this EP.
It's the first time we've all been down under in years (back in the antipodes for our non Australasian friends), and the homely vibes crossed over into our music.
We channeled natural sounds from New Zealand, turned tui's into synths, crossed over the kiwi-dub spectrum and as a whole tried to see what would happen if we embraced nature as a style.
In our music video for Mutual Gathering, we brought artificial bioluminescent life to our local forests, created with light-mapping. Check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfYzzqksZ5k

1Mutual Gathering
2Ignis feat. Bells
3Amazonia
4Ripples and Waves
5Gillies Street
Mutual gathering, while largely instrumental/electronic, has its roots in the idea of people co-existing with and enjoying nature.
In the music video, the Polynesian concept of Mana (a life-force that permeates the universe) is metaphorically visualised as bioluminescence to show the mutual connection between flora (the forest) and fauna (us).
Ignis feat. Bells is our down-under cross neo-soul jam out.
Tying the instrumental together are the soulful vocals of Isaebella Doherty
Channeling the lush equatorial nature of the Amazon in a fantastical way
Singer-songwriter, acoustic-electronic - this song blends a medly of our different styles together but two themes dictate the whole. Luscious nature and soothing down-tempo chill.
Having lived in London and Australasia, we try to bridge the dub-spectrum of the two hemispheres with Gillies Street.
