Ngiyampaa man Pirritu’s (Brett Lee) music is gentle, intricate and highly melodic – strange but beautifully framed chords overlaid with gently weaving vocals that sing to you a story of both sadness and hope.

Enticing you into the depths of his stories, Pirritu's sound comes from lazy days filled with listening to folk and acoustic surf tunes with hints of country hidden between the lines. His writing is honest and personal, set against a soundscape that goes from sunny and toe tapping to a rainy sadness felt by a lonely lover on a Sunday.
