Quick facts Background information, Origin ...

The group began as a home recording project of founding members Nic McKenzie (lead singer, songwriter, lyricist) and Nick Weaver (co-composer, bassist, and guitarist) during their mid-teens, using four-track tape recorders, broadcast microphones, analog synths and unconventional computer programs.

Their debut album, Outlands, released worldwide in 2012 through Ivy League Records. The band has played several sold-out tours across venues in Australia, the United Kingdom, and across Europe.

On 26 October 2018, their second album, Blacklight, was released. The album was co-produced and mixed by Grammy award-winning producer Eric J (Flume, The Chemical Brothers), and featured Matt Johnson (Jeff Buckley, St. Vincent) on drums.[1]

Weaver left the band in 2018 and passed away from cancer in 2021 at the age of 37.[2] In 2022, an album consisting of Weaver's solo compositions was posthumously published, entitled Won’t Let Go.

In 2024, McKenzie announced a vinyl reissue of Outlands through Impressed Recordings, and revealed that a third studio album, featuring and co-produced by Jay Watson (Tame Impala, Pond), is set for release in 2025 through Origin Recordings and Warner ADA.[3]
