Diving into the deepest waters of art-rock, Adelaide post-genre power trio The Only Objects explore groove and dissonance while always navigating true north through pop hooks and accessible songwriting. Their sound channels the stylistic dynamism of Black Country, New Road or glass beach with the rhythmic power and apocalyptic gaze of The Smile, with a smattering of Monika Roscher’s penchant for layered arrangements and blasts of cataclysmic atonality.

Eliot Fish is a songwriter and composer based in Adelaide, Australia.

As bassist for Australian rock band Big Heavy Stuff, he has toured and recorded extensively, receiving an Australian Recording Industry Award (ARIA) nomination for Best Alternative Release (“Size of the Ocean”, 2001), and supported artists such as Radiohead, Neil Finn, Powderfinger, Dinosaur Jr, The Stone Roses and more.
