Blurry Image of an Island is the first offering from Meanjin/Brisbane ambient duo YEARNS’ self-titled EP, out June on False Peak Records. It is early-morning mist dissipating over the bay, buoys floating in front of sand islands, undulating muted keyboard melodies and a haze of ghostly vocal transmissions.

It follows their debut ON//AS (Rusted Satellites, 4ZZZ Radio top 10 release of 2021), and continues their gentle sonic explorations using circuit-bent Casio keyboards, modular software environments and tape loops.

YEARNS is Joel Saunders of Spirit Bunny and A Country Practice alongside Andrew Foley of An Heirloom and Grids/Units/Planes. Outside of YEARNS they have separately appeared on releases on Room 40 and hellosquare Records, collaborating with artists including Erik Griswold (Clocked Out), Andrew Tuttle and Shoeb Ahmad and have had their music featured on ABC TV (The Heights) and played on radio across Australia and abroad.

The EP Yearns is out July 2022. A limited edition visual edition of the EP will be available with a tessellated stereogram image for each track.
