Heard You're Doing Well, the second single from THIS PLACE EP, due out end of june,  is a brooding track that sees Retiree exploring interesting progressions and instrumentation. The song builds organically from a melancholic organ ballad into a slo mo boogie track as Tori's (vocalist) dad Paul Holleman contributes layered saxophone lines.
The lyrics of the song are an overdue conversation to a friend that is gone.

It's the kind of tune that just might change your summer from 'good' to 'unforgettable', with it's lush, laid-back rhythm and melancholic sun drenched melodies. Perfectly at home on the beach or below the setting sun.
Really proud of this and most happy to be involved in this project with Plastic World Sydney. 

Song Credits: Written, recorded & produced by Retiree. Saxophone by Paul Holleman

Buried deep beneath the castle was their only way out of the maze. Outside they could hear the tropical birds of the wilderness calling them, but they had yet to determine a way to break free to the jungle. The escape hatch would provide their only means of access to the greenery of the forest floor and the place of paradise. 

Seahawks are pretty freakin' balearic. I mean, their name is balearic, they sound balearic and the music they make is sure as hell balearic. Lush, peaceful and warm, their new release on Ocean Moon leaves us longing for sunnier climates.

Ahead of my gig at the Jazz Cafe, I thought i'd make Mother Theresa available as a free download until 25th August. Recorded in Havana, Cuba 2015 and released as part of the Highlife World Series pt 1  :)

"The highlight for us is Auntie Flo’s ‘Mother Theresa’, a lazy track with a free-flowing melody. Subdued compared to the others on the EP, the smoky jazz influence is unexpected, with a wandering trumpet introducing itself halfway through. As the track’s soft pads and percussive textures build, you’re caught up in the spiralling solo and the track’s brassy crescendo."
Stamp The Wax

Vocals – Eric Alejandro
Trumpet – Julio Rigal
Percussion – Yissy
Keys - Jorge Aragon Brito
Production and arrangements - Brian d'Souza/Auntie Flo

Alek Lee dons his Balearic cap with a reggae infused groove for his Compilation For Dominica submission.

Dominica is a small island in the caribbean destroyed by Hurricane Maria and left in ruins with little infrastructure or resources. With both Bradley & Mali being of Dominican heritage, this is a cause especially close to our hearts. Please PAY WHAT YOU CAN + share the info.
