  • SPOUSE REPORT – APRIL

    Daan

    I’m off to Europe! I’m writing this on the Murrays to Sydney. I’m going to celebrate my Mum’s 60th with her, my dad and my brothers in Greece for a week. I’ll be celebrating with my family then heading over to the Netherlands to see my extended family over there. I’ve honestly had the best month ever. I’m so full of love! I played a couple of wholesome solo shows with Silo Country, recorded a music video with Atlast (shoutout!), spent lots of time with friends, made some shirts, did a Gutwrench market stall, spent a lot of time in the sun, had a couple of picnics, connected with a lot of beautiful people and got to experience a heap of fantastic music! I love music! 

    A movie I watched this month:

    I don’t think I’ve watched a movie this month which is a bit sad but I’ve been watching a lot of Drag Race, mainly the current season, with Meg & Evy (shoutouts!). We’re making our way through the current season and have placed bets on who we think will win & who are in the top five, just based on the first 2 eps. We’ve got a couple of eps left to finish when I get back from Europe so I’m hoping I don’t have the result spoilt to me before then.  

    An album I listened to this month:

    I’ve been rinsing two albums lately. C,XOXO by Camilla Cabello & Getting Killed by Geese. I feel quite silly that it took me so long to get around to the new Geese album. I loved 3D country and when Getting Killed was coming out I didn’t really resonate with the singles so I let it slide. I was going for a lovely drive through the country with my friend Jenna (shoutout!) and Husbands came on. It was just what I needed to hear at the time and I replayed it five times in a row, much to Jenna’s support. I just wanted to live in that moment forever. After that I went in and listened to the whole album and it all clicked for me.

    A game I played this month:

    I did a wordle & a crossword this month with my friend Eve (shoutout!), that was fun lmao. I don’t do the wordle but I gotta get into it. It’s awesome. 

    A photo I took this month:

    This month I played my first solo set in Melbourne with Any Young Mechanic in St. Kilda! It was also my first time in St. Kilda! It was kind of a surreal/uncanny experience there but this seems to be everyone’s experience in St. Kilda? Apparently my grandmother used to take my dad out there when he was a little kid to walk along the pier and eat icecream, he was very excited to tell me this on the phone when he heard that I went. It was lovely to hangout, went to eat some dumplings and Mapo Tofu before the show, had some serious nerves (this plus spicy mapo tofu was a crazy time for my stomach) because I’d never actually done a legitimately “acoustic” show before. This was the first time it would be seriously just me and a guitar with no effects to hide behind (this also meant no pedal tuner), and on top of that my first time playing some new material. I put myself on a bit of a spiral with this one bit where I would reach for my capo after every song even though I didn’t need it, fumble to put it back on the headstock, and then squint at my phone using my hands as fake binoculars, all while some drunk men were arguing outside the bar, in front of the bar, and then heckling at me to chug my beer. It felt very slapstick but I think it was still fun. It’s been a bit of a depression month, but I’m doing my best to set myself up for success for winter. I feel like a bear preparing to hibernate, but I’m just trying to make lists and future plans to keep myself busy and distract myself from the sinking winter feeling. Things are good though! I feel so grateful for friendship, time and time again I’m shown that my friends are so special, that I love them so much and that they will keep showing up, isn’t that awesome?? I’ve eaten lots of good icecream this month, shoutouts to Luthers and my housemates who keep humouring me on late night trips there. Their Banoffee Pie is always excellent. 

    A movie I watched this month:

    I watched so many movies this month, one highlight was Anatomy of a Fall – I’m quite late to watching this, but I very much understand the hype. Excellent acting all round, I really felt connected to everyone in the family. I also watched Dog Day Afternoon and loved it, I think I had assumed that it would be a really challenging watch because of Al Pacino and it is a bit of a film-bro movie, but it was really fun and moving. I also rewatched Before Sunrise again, being 23 (they are 23 in the movie) and of a certain disposition made it feel very real. 

    An album I listened to this month:

    I’m enjoying listening to music for mixes/specific frequencies and effects to try and put my engineering hat on, but funnily the albums that I’ve been hit by the most have been Justified – Justin Timberlake (10/10) and Midnight Marauders – A Tribe Called Quest (10/10). These are truly production masterpieces to me, something about the drums, bass, sub-bass, sampling and insane textural choices (lots of mouth noises in Justified??) just hit you right in the guts and travel right through you. I think Timbaland and Pharrell were making some truly insane and incredible choices back then, and tribe have equally been good forever. Sidenote, if you have time to kill the entire making-of footage of Justified is just out on youtube, there is hours of footage and all of its crazy (thank you Vince for informing me of this). 

    I’ve been listening to Leaves To The Sun – Gawshock (9/10) – this is an incredibly cute album, I’m a sucker for a lo-fi indie-folk thing, and this is very much that. The singer is clearly a hopeless romantic nerd, listening to this I feel like Roberta Flack/Lauryn Hill (I felt he found my letters then read each one out loud, strumming my pain with his fingers, singing my life with his words, killing me softly with his song etc.). This is a great album to listen to on a big walk. I did this across several days in an unusually warm and sunny Melbourne week this month. 

    A book I read/game I played this month:

    I am still reading Galapagos but have also started Tortilla Flat (John Steinbeck). I’ve started writing some lyrics inspired from, this who knows if I’ll finish the book or the song. 

    I also got to make my own mii on Aneesha and Charlie’s Tomodachi Life Island which was awesome. 

    NYT Sudoku every day.

    Weird but good month! Ash is away in Europe/Canada right now, so it’s just been me and Kenny at the house for the past couple of weeks. It’s been nice to have time to myself and rediscover my own space, but I’ve also had to make a more active effort to prevent myself from rotting (now that no one else is around to witness it, my self-consciousness is no longer a barrier to that bedrot spiral, especially with that freaky melbourne winter looming). Thankfully we’ve got a great group of friends I’ve been able to spend time with and have been helping me with the dogsitting (thank you Aneesha and Ella and Em). It’s made me feel a lot more like I’ve got a good network down here since moving from Canberra, which is something I’m extremely grateful for. 

    It sounds like Ash’s trip is going well too – she met Bill Nighy from Love Actually at a supermarket in London. Miss her, glad she’s having a great time.

    A movie I watched this month:

    We’ve been having a weekly movie night with our friends which has been pretty awesome – this month we watched Bram Stoker’s Dracula (lots of moaning – 8/10), Speed Racer (underrated and insane – 9/10) Now You See Me (airplane movie but not bad – 6/10) and Scott Pilgrim vs The World (good movie but I’m incredibly thankful I didn’t see it at a more formative time in my life, as I could sense the potential danger it could have done to my character growth as a White Guy In A Band™ – 7/10)

    An album I listened to this month:

    This month I listened to BB Void by Mori Mori – i’m hearing a lot of that electronic-forumcore thing lately and it is very much like crack to me so thanks to Zeke for the rec. Other things I listened to this month include Gloorp ‘Em Up by Gloorp (drum machines – 9/10), Sd-3 by Loukeman (beat tape with feeling – 8/10) and Blue Angel Sparkling Light 2 by Quiet Light (bedroom pop from the internet – 7/10).

    I also revisited Violent Soho after many years 😝 Conflicted feelings on that one – they were lowkey my one direction so I still love them even though I’d probably hate them if I discovered them today lmao. “Hell fuck yea” for personal growth I guess 🤪

    A game I played this month:

    I got the new Tomodachi Life the day after Ash left, which was one the worst mistakes I’ve ever made. This game is an absolute time parasite if you like drawing – you can customise basically everything, so it’s just creatively rewarding enough to trick you into a feeling of artistic fulfilment that immediately disappears once you realise the two hours you spent drawing a 7Eleven for your mii to live in may have been a waste of time. I had grand plans of spending my free time working on all the art/music projects I haven’t had the time for, but a mii that looks like Aphex Twin will have to do for now. I am beginning to worry that I have an addictive personality. Final Fantasy VII remakes next probably.

    We’re in a bit of struggle mode. This is the last month before Me and Daan have to move out from our house. We’ve lived together for like two years now and I’m going to be very sad to not be in a house with my friends, I had gotten very used to it. 

    But no pregrief here. Change is change. 

    A movie I watched this month:

    I watched the movie Exit 8 which was based on the video game. I knew nothing about it, but it ended up being really slickly done and great. Guy gets trapped in a backrooms-like loop, but there’s this running theme through it of whether or not he has the ability to notice when something is wrong and do something about it. 

    Good stuff, pretty scary at a few points, really great for a video game adaptation. 

    An album I listened to this month:

    I’ll be real I’m still stuck on the same three albums, Nina Jirachi I love my computer, Magdalena Bay imaginal disk and Underscores U.  

    I have also been listening to Sophie ‘Oil of every pearl’s un-insides’ which is so good its unreal. Jane remover ‘Revengseekers’ which is fantastic. I dipped my toes into Caroline Polachek ‘Desire, I want to turn into you’ but I think I have to at least got a whole foot in before I could talk about it. I like it a lot though. 

    I bought myself a Roland Sp404MkII to make some dancy stuff, so I’ve been dipping my toe back into some old LCD Soundsystem and Daftpunk too just cause I’ve got drum machines on the brain. It has a very silly rose decal wrap on it and I feel like I’m making music on a department store giftwrapped box of perfume. 

    A book I read/game I played this month:

    Em’s reading a lot of books I really love right now, if they end up liking Tortilla Flat enough I’m gonna bully them into reading East of Eden next. 

    Myself I finished Vineland which was great and sad and easier to grip than a lot of other Pynchon for me. I put this down mostly to it’s period and setting, and me having a better grasp on it’s references to television and the rise of fascism under Reagan and what not. Great stuff. Big ups the Thanatoids. I for one believe Brock Vond is a vampire. 

    Have just started Dune by Frank Herbert cause everyone loved the movies and I told myself I wouldn’t watch them until I’d watched the Lynch one and I told myself I wouldn’t watch it until I read the book. 

    I played about 8 hours of Starfield and got bored so I’m back on Pillars of Eternity which is babygirl and one of my favourite games of all time. It’s so good I did the nerdiest thing I’ve ever done a little while back and messaged the lead designer in charge of writing the in game languages for a dictionary of the in game language Engwithian because I want a tattoo of one of the spells and couldn’t find it written down anywhere. I can feel the swirlie the big strong boys are gonna give me when they find this out but jokes on them cause I’m just gonna drink all the water so I don’t actually get hurt in the toilet. So there.

    We went on a delightful camping trip and found what appeared to be a cow who exploded.

    April was very lovely, I’m working on knowing what month it is and trying to recap each week has been helpful trying to keep my head straight. Last Friday I was in Newcastle filling in on bass for my housemate Jenna’s band LIMO (was very fun) and our dear friend Meg came with us on the trip which was so fun. We sat on the beach in the morning and there must be music gods (Freddie mercury) looking out for me. Just as I have been struggling knowing where and what is going on around me, Meg showed us her diary / calendar. I know it’s nothing crazy, but it’s made a massive impact on me. Trying to keep my diary updated, thanks Meg!

    Plus got to see so many friends new and old this month:)

    On that trip we got to spend a lot of time with our dear friends in horse! Love them so much. Also made new friends this month! Johnny and Will yall are great house guests, come stay whenever!

    Did a music Vid with Atlast! So many cool and awesome people worked on that which was lovely. 

    Also spent a weekend working on the set of new Total Tommy material which was awesome. Loved having everyone in cbr for a bit:)))

    One bummer from the month, our brilliant friend Eve is leaving Aus this week and this past month of outings have been great, their farewell show at gang gang was amazing and the party at ours on the weekend was magic aswell. Always sad when friends move but excited to see what the get up to and happy to have had such time together.

    A movie I watched this month:

    I watched project Hail Mary and I swear. Both brilliant films Robert Aramayo is magic 

    An album I listened to this month:

    Fell in love with Caroline 2 by Caroline and Hugo by Loyle Carner again. Plus a new EP by Elly called Then it leaves. The song River boat lights has me in a chokehold. 

    Spend a lot of time in the car with Felix this month so of course lots of Justin Bieber aswell

    A game I played this month:

    played where the hell did my car keys go a lot this month

    This is ez and his new sp404, our collection of electronic equipment is getting fierce

  • Ruminating on “Good Songwriting” – I don’t know what it is I’m trying to say.

    This is a bit of a word vomit, but I’ve been reflecting a bit more critically on my songwriting and lyric writing in particular over the past few months. In a recent Spouse meeting, I had to type out and send the band all of my lyrics, which was actually the first time most of the band would have seen what I’m really saying in our songs. I kept thinking and saying “thank god I’m not a white man!”, it truly is music for losers, and I ask that no one goes searching for these words or listening for them too closely. Sorry Genius, to you I say “NO NO NO NO GO AWAY.” I guess it was so mortifying because I had to show all my cards to my best friends, something I of course have done at various stages before, but doing it all at once on a whatsapp call was a bit ridiculous. Here’s a photo of what the call looked like:

    I also played my first Victoria acoustic solo set, in front of people I take very seriously, and my words and nervous guitar playing were fully on display, caught naked at the Espy in St. Kilda, what a night! These events have sparked some introspection and critical reflection on what the hell it is that I’m talking about. It feels insane and beautiful at the same time that I am friends and colleagues with some of the best songwriters in Australia, but this makes the spectre of Imposter Syndrome a much heavier kidney stone to carry in the piss sack. What is it that I have to say/sing that I think other people need to hear? I don’t think I’m writing music for other people to hear it, but my friend Ziek and I have been discussing the dynamics/conflicts between art, the artist, and who owns it, and what happens to it when its perceived by an audience, or made with an audience in mind. Am I really writing for me? Or was this riff/line subconsciously laced with what I think cool people will hear and say “oh that’s cool”? Some secret third thing where its all of these things and none of them at once.

    Historically for me, lyrics have come last in the songwriting process, especially in Spouse, where the riff will usually be what comes first, maybe one or two lines and then the rest is sort of mashed together out of the babbling that happens when I’m coming up with my vocal melodies. Out of sheer dumb luck, they’ve done the job, but I don’t tend to connect with the songs where I’ve done that anymore. Who would’ve thought it’s hard to connect with lyrics that you hadn’t fully thought out, or don’t even really mean? I do the thing that everyone else seems to do, where when a fleeting phrase comes by, I’ll whack it into an empty notes app entry, and never look at it again, or, if I do, I’ll scoff and scratch my head at whatever feeling that was, and fob it off. The times where I do like my own lyrics are when they’re imagery based, and I know what the moment/image made me feel, but can keep that for myself, while others can hear/see that moment and assign their own feelings to it. But maybe this is some kind of lyrical emotional avoidance, I’m being less vulnerable because I don’t have to tell you what I’m really thinking or feeling, but you can tell me what you felt if you feel called to.

    I know what good song writing is when I hear it, just as much as I know bad song writing when I hear it, but I guess when it comes to the self/introspection, it feels impossible to be objective about it. I try not to be overly harsh about what I do, this is largely based on being told nice things by nice people about it, but that nagging voice in the back of my head is still saying that these things are only said out of niceness. Who would have the guts to tell me that I wrote a bad song? Is everyone just watching us play out of duty and friendship? What if, secretly, I’ve been completely tone-deaf this entire time but no one felt up to breaking the bad news to me? I’ve been doing alright at tucking these nasties behind a big frontal-lobe-wall, but at the same time I think perhaps its good practice to listen to them sometimes just to keep myself in check, to pursue “better art”.

    All of this is amalgamating to a more conscious lyric writing effort. Certainly over the past few years of writing and playing in my own voice (both in Spouse and solo), I know which parts of myself and my thinking I like to share, and they seem to be something people can connect with. They’re definitely informed by what I’m listening to and reading at the time, but I suppose they are coming from my consciousness so they are technically my own thoughts and my own “creativity”. The question of what true “creativity” or “creation” are will be more of a lifelong quest I think, but this feels like a part of the songwriting journey, and the natural bending and meandering that happens on this kind of path. Maybe in 5 years I will be writing a Steeley Dan Aja worship album? More likely another Horse Jumper of Love or Wednesday rip. I feel a bit lost on what it is I’m trying to say here, but this seems on theme and maybe that is exactly what I’m trying to say. “I do not know what I’m trying to say”. It’s a good humbling practice to say this.

  • SPOUSE REPORT – MARCH

    Welcome to the first Spouse Report on our new blog! We created this site as a way for us to take a more long-form approach to band updates and general internet connection in a way our other platforms don’t quite provide – we’re still not fully sure what that looks like yet (we will likely be sharing band news, upcoming shows, and Em is doing a monthly vlog) but we thought we’d also start by sharing what each of us got up to in March.

    DAAN

    Hi everyone! This month I completed a big grant application (wish me luck), played two awesome shows with Spouse in Syd & Melb, got new glasses, printed a bunch of shirts for Vanishing Sound & GUSH, hosted the final show of DIY Summer III, nearly got crushed under a car, had a few picnics, recorded Buffy’s EP with Felix (shoutouts) & played ONE OF MY FAVOURITE SHOWS EVER with Atlast at Shadows. I’ve been dealing with some severe burnout atm so I’m trying to take a step back and make time to see my friends more, which has been really wonderful and helpful. I’m feeling full of love and excitement for the rest of 2026. Lots to look forward to 🙂

    A movie I watched this month:

    I watched ‘Project Hail Mary’ this month. I had no context or expectations for the movie and went in blind (the best way). I was having the SHITTEST day when I went in and honestly this movie gave me such a profound sense of hope. The cinema was full and everyone was laughing out loud the whole time. It was so wonderful. It was truly one of those moments where I realised that laughter truly is THE BEST MEDICINE. I walked home from the city in the rain listening to the same Twine song over and over afterwards and was absolutely euphoric. 

    An album I listened to this month:

    This month I rediscovered my love for Good Charlotte and listened to ‘Good Morning Revival’ a bunch lol. It was one of the 2 albums I had on my IPod shuffle when I was a kid (that and Green Day’s American Idiot). I was listening to this album when I was like 5-7 years old which is honestly hilarious to imagine. I stuck a picture of the band on one of my school books under some clear contact and I thought it was cool as hell. Thanks Aidan for reminding me of this album 🙂

    A book I read this month:

    I’ve been reading ‘The Power Of One’ for the last couple months and am nearly done! I’ve been loving it and I plan to visit Bryce Courtney’s grave in Hall with my friend Ella once I’m done.

    A photo I took this month:

    This is an awesome cat on a leash that I saw when I was at Better Music

    EM

    I talked about my month so much already haha, went to Adelaide, played a nice show at the Bergy, and saw BJM with my awesome uncle Bill. I hope to do more recording engineering stuff next month, and to get back to Canberra to see everyone. 

    A movie I watched this month:

    I just watched “The Drama” with some lovely friends at Cinema Nova, it’s my first time being back there since I was 15 (was there to see Parasite on a horrible date). Glad to reclaim that cinema with a nice new memory, in general I thought that the rom-com is coming back in a big way, and to that I say hooray. 4/5⭐️

    An album I listened to this month:

    Album pick is Ultraista – Self titled – my coworker Kristjan showed me this at the beginning of March and I’ve been rinsing it, really awesome use of synth and drums on this. 10/10⭐️

    I also can’t stop listening to the EP Self Noise – Short Snarl. I got to see them in Adelaide and was very moved, such beautiful music played by lovely people! 10/10⭐️

    A book I read this month:

    Galapagos – Vonnegut – pretty chewy read to start, I’ve been picking at it for longer than I care to admit but I think it’s starting to get good. 

    A photo I took this month:

    this is Josh and Ash after eating a soup that I made

    JOSH

    This month I played an epic show with Spouse and then immediately went on a White Boy Japan Trip™ – I hopped off the plane in Tokyo with a dream and my cardigan and everyone pointed and laughed at me and said “white boy! white boy!” even though I wasn’t even there to snowboard or take hinge pictures. I had a great time otherwise – I did a lot of walking, saw some cool local bands, bought some cool CDs and drove a swan boat out on a lake. Since arriving home I’ve spent lots of time with my partner, my dog and my lovely friends and have had plenty of exciting design and music projects to keep me busy, which I’m super grateful for. Keen to keep that up for the rest of the year 🙂

    A movie I watched this month:

    I watched Looper with some friends a couple of nights ago – I swore I hadn’t seen it before when we were choosing what to watch, even though it was pointed out to me that I had logged it already on Letterboxd. I watched with a fragile familiarity, eerily similar to the experiences of Bruce Willis’ character trying to remember his dead future wife while his Joseph Gordon Levitt younger self kept doing all that different shit. I don’t know if I just didn’t pay attention last time or if there’s some weird loop thing going on but it definitely made the whole experience more immersive.

    An album I listened to this month:

    I’m slowly climbing out of the dark and humid soundcloud-dariacore-brainrot hole I’ve been in for the past six months and have instead been seeking some fresh cold puddles to lie in. One of these puddles has been The Most Dear and The Future by ear – a super short indie project that came out last September. It’s got this kind of intermediate glitchy space around it that’s reminiscent of the aforementioned soundcloud hole, but sweeter and more comforting. The new Headache album is another one – ‘text-to-speech poetry over downtempo triphop’ comes across exactly as wanker as it sounds but boy those beats are just so good.

    I also watched the Pavement documentary on the plane and it reminded me how much I love Slanted & Enchanted, so I’ve been revisiting that album too.

    A game I played this month:

    I didn’t read any books because I was homeschooled and cannot read. I did play the original Devil May Cry though, that shit rocked crazy style 😼 I was planning on playing them in a row but have been told to skip the second one and go straight to three, so it’ll either be that or the new Elden Ring next.

    A photo I took this month:

    the aforementioned swan boat

    EZRA

    I’ve been sick for what feels like the entire month, that and the rain has made me want to hermit. We’ve been writing stuff in At Last and that’s been rewarding. 

    A movie I watched this month:

    When Harry Met Sally – We watched this all together in Adelaide and I rewatched it recently. It’s a 5/5 for me, very stagelike and just trusts the people in it so much to carry it across, and they do. It’s the only example of an enemies to lover’s type thing where the enemy is my enemy (I hate him throughout a lot of the movie) and then I love him by the end. Normally it just ends up feeling predictable but their chemistry is just fantastic. Also the trivia piece that originally the ending was that they (spoilers) wouldn’t end up together, but that in the middle of writing Rob Reiner began dating his eventual wife and rewrote the ending because it had made him believe in love again, shut up it’s so beautiful. 

    Word of the day here would be ‘uxorious’ which basically translates to wife guy. 

    An album I listened to this month:

    Imaginal Disk – Magdalena Bay

    It’s a hard toss up for me between talking about this or Underscores U or Wallsocket. I’m in a big Hyperpop hole at the moment. I don’t know if Magdalena technically counts but you get it, computer music. I’ve been thinking a lot about Skrillex because of Ninajirachi, and these producers from when I was younger who were really going out there with computer music. I think a lot of this wave of stuff plays off nostalgia in an interesting way. 

    I’m interested in dance music and party music that’s clearly made alone? There’s this aesthetic to a lot of it that’s very ‘ipod touch under the blankets’ that I just think makes for a much more interesting setting ultimately than like, the image that comes to mind of a lot of similar acts in the early 2000’s which is invariably like, glowsticks and stuff. Not to knock that, but I enjoy the contrast between the style of the music and where and how it’s being listened to. 

    The Magdalena Bay album has just grown on me and grown on me, its use of motifs throughout make it so satisfying to listen through, great dance stuff, solid pop writing but just out there enough to make it really interesting, great videos too. 

    Also that new Tiffany Day album slams. 

    A book I read this month:

    This month I’ve been reading through the Thomas Harris – Hannibal books, which was a mixed bag? Red Dragon and Silence of the Lambs are fantastic thrillers with some really beautiful empathetic moments and characterisation. They’re quiet and measured and very lovingly made, and just read super easy. 

    Hannibal however is fucking bizarre, in a way I think I enjoy? It almost seems intentionally trolly to the reader given that it came out after the movies had been released and Harris had seen the way that Hannibal Lecter came across to a wider audience. There were Cannibal memes being thrown around and I think that irked him? The book seems like a little spiteful. Not to mention it seems like he went on an Italian holiday and really wanted you to know about it. 

    I stopped before Hannibal Rising because I’ve heard it’s total shit and he only wrote it because Dino De Lorentis made him. I’ve just started Vineland by Thomas Pynchon and am enjoying it a lot, it’s one of his cuddlier ones which I always enjoy, some of the others can be quite cold and his characters don’t get much in the way of warmth, but early on and this one is a lot of fun. 

    A photo I took this month:

    Spouse in an important meeting

    EMMETT

    I couldn’t say what month I’m referring too, since Feb started it has been one big month. Which was difficult but I think I’m going to just enjoy it. Week by week is fun. If all goes well each week has everything I could possibly want. See friends, make music, hang with housemates, talk to my dad, maybe make some furniture. Maybe I’ll make my blog post into a furniture blog soon. Anyone need furniture?

    A movie I watched this month:

    Rental family. Shit is gas, loved it. Stole the theme and made a song out of it

    An album I listened to this month:

    PRINT – kilu. It’s and ep but I don’t care about the rules. It’s also magic and makes me wish Coldplay was still making parachutes

    A book I read/game I played this month:

    Uhhhh… I don’t really get the time to read or play games. Me and Felix were playing minecraft a little bit ago. Our village is dope so are our pets dream boat and mega yacht

    I’m gonna start sharing little mini vlogs every month with what I’ve been seeing and up to – yes this is very much ripping off prisondivorcebombshell but I have never hidden my deep love and inspiration from Karly ❤

    This March I went to Adelaide to intern with Matt at Interim studios, it was one of the most beautiful weeks of my life and solidified my love for Adelaide. It was so nice to meet so many wonderful, kind and interesting people, and to be so warmly welcomed to a really special and exciting scene. Coming from my recent Canberra-Melbourne move, it was very comforting to be amongst a tight-knit community and scene again. I think Melbourne obviously has so much going on, and there are plenty of lovely people here, but I have been missing that feeling of inner-confidence/comfort that you get when you’re in a community like this. Something about having to hold on to each other and support each other because its a small city, it takes a much more conscious and lengthy effort to do something creative, and then to take it outside your city. I would love to live there someday, maybe now isn’t the time, but rest assured, my radelaide days are far from done. Special thanks and love to Thea and Sam who let me sleep in their beautiful living room for 10 days xx

    Back to rainy Melbourne, I’m slowly settling into a routine again, it’s been nice slowly putting down some more solid roots here, and I feel more myself and at home here these days. I’m playing guitar alot, and doing repairs again, as well as seeing friends and working. I also have my first solo sets coming up this week – both with Any Young Mechanic! They’re free, the poster is below if I did it right.

    Love, Em
