Lyrics:
Yea it's cold in the dark of December
What would you say if this were August for you?
Would you complain of the depths of your discomfort?
Or would you smile at the end of your pain?

Your winter is my summer, babe

Laughter lives in the darkest of moments
I think back to the brightest of our days
The joy was strong but it would all have been worth nothing
If it weren't for the hurt of darker days

Your winter is my summer, babe
And it's perfect

Episode 667 - feat. The Rough & Tumble  - Only This Far & More New Releases

Momoko’s latest track, ‘softboi’, emerged during Melbourne’s lockdowns as she experimented with beatmaking in Ableton and eventually collaborated with producer Rino Darusman. The song tackles emotional unavailability and the struggles men have with vulnerability. Although the lyrics are playful and simple, ‘softboi’ exposes the covert ways in which toxic masculinity impacts relationships and society. It references the ‘softboi’ archetype without defining it, to shed light on how some men assert themselves through intellectual prowess rather than traditional physical strength, revealing that these self-imposed barriers often hinder genuine and intimate connections. ‘Softboi’ serves as an anthem for the sensitive and socially awkward, resonating with those navigating the complexities of modern relationships.

Written and performed by Momoko Rose.
Mixed and produced by Rino Darusman.
Mastered by Isaac Barter.

Out on 3 November!

Felicity Cripps Band's latest single, "Inside a Keyhole", due March 20, is an ode to the collective conscience. Driving, psychedelic and heartful, the song was born out of a need for community and meaningful connection in a
post-lockdown world that was starved of both. ‘Inside A Keyhole’ is an antidote to isolation and an anthemic reminder of our oneness with the universe.

Inside a Keyhole

Hopefully this song makes you wanna go and jump in the nearest shopping trolley with your bestie and ding up all the Porsche Cayenne SUVs in your neighbourhood.

Hey Woman is basically a big fuck you to rich housewives who live in a bubble of pretty things, low-fat lattes, status anxiety, big cars and cappo husbands. We’re saying, what are you gonna do with all your fancy stuff when you die? Cos you can’t take it all through the pearly gates. Don’t get us wrong we love beautiful things and we love moneyyyyyy but don’t misplace your manners inside that giant Gucci handbag, lady. You can be rich without being a dick.

This track comes off an album set for release early June. You 'erd!

Hey Woman

Werewolf is a dreamy, strangely melancholic pop song that gently sinks into your psyche and lingers for a long time. The leisurely oh-lalalas hang about like jasmine blossoms on a Summer's night. Cripps' evocatic story-telling takes you on a journey, reminiscing on past, unattainable lovers and the gradual dissipation of youthful innocence. There's a sweetness that feels lost, but also a sense of elation in letting go and moving on. 

The track was recorded and produced by Nick Huggins (Dirty Three, Jess Rebeiro, Jen Cloher) and features the dulcet tones of Bones Sloane on bv’s (Courtney Barnett).
