Singapore Sling

'Um' was recorded live on the floor of Memorial Hall, Mosman Park in Perth, WA in November 2016. It's about suddenly feeling afraid and isolated in a place where you had once felt OK.

Don't Go To Melbourne

Loping and soft in some places but visceral and urgent in others, Docks ruminates on existential detachment in a way that's both highly personal and boundlessly universal. The first single from his forthcoming debut full-length release, Docks is romantic in its language and timeless in its resonance, spinning simple truths for the chronically uncertain (We are what we are/And I'm ok, I guess).
