    This was our debut release, where it all began. We thought of our name and 6 weeks later we had the EP in our hands and toured down the East Coast of Australia. A lot has changed since our inception, but some things stay the same. Our single "Superminx" is still one of our favourite tracks to play live and a crowd favourite for sure.

about

Lyrically, the original concept of this track was the exploration of the relationship between a psychiatrist and his patient who he falls in love with and ends up being the one who feels like they are being analysed under the microscope and exposing their own frailties and flaws. The music came to me while I was living in London which was otherwise not my most prolific writing period, reasons unbeknownst to me, but this is one of the ideas I brought home well formed.

lyrics

Letter to a…

I wasn’t lyin’ when I said you’re getting better
You know I’ve always been here right by your side
we sat right here on couches made of leather
You know I was crazy all the time

And you’re running me down,
Into the ground, And not moving, on
So I’m writing it down, without a sound and then moving
on

I’m kinda tired of all your insults
They just keep on getting better, your words they cut me so much deeper now
I know it’s the truth, and that’s why I feel so down
I need you to get better, 'cause you’re the one that sees right
Through me now

I went and told them, I said you’re getting better
But you gave no emotion, you got no tell.
‘course I was apprehensive, just pulling my defenses
I know that I’m wrong, I hope they can’t tell.
