Because

Following her two impeccable releases, debut single "Vanilla" and most recent cut "All I Do", Sydney artist Moody Beach unveils her highly anticipated debut EP Moody Beach, out August 4 via Personal Best Records.

One of this year's brightest new acts, Moody Beach aka Melissah Marie, tells all in her blissful four-tracker. While each track is a stand-alone stunner, together they make for 11 and a half minutes of some broody-sweet listening. Her debut single "Vanilla" instantly setting the mood with it's 90s riff and shoe-gaze vocals. "All I Do" comes next, in a hazy continuity of neo-psychedelia. A tempo change is introduced with "I Should Exercise" with an absorbing slow-fuse, and once more with "Hawaii", a Best Coast-style love song, rich in texture, bringing the EP to an emotional end.

Starting out as a bedroom project, Marie has watched Moody Beach evolve into a full band with a growing live presence. After moving to Sydney from Adelaide and wanting to find more spaces to play live and develop her sound, Marie began curating Cult Club; a quarterly party held at Hair by Tommy J, a local barber shop near her house in Redfern. Cult Club prides itself on showcasing emerging artists from Sydney's underground who play to a crowd no bigger than 100, and is one of the spaces where Marie solidified her Moody Beach project.

The Moody Beach EP masterfully showcases the disparate influences ranging from Roy Orbison and The Cure to Blondie and The Pixies, interweaved into dream-pop melodies. Her hazy psychedelic guitar lines and enigmatic lyrics create a transfixing new take on alt-indie-pop.

Marie is currently working on her new and improved live show, as well as directing and producing her own visuals for an EP cut. Be sure to keep an eye out for Sydney's indie darling in a live setting and sink your teeth into her debut EP.

Moody Beach - Hawaii

Please don't let me go

Well I said too much and now its done
It's done
Cause it seems to show
And you really don't know
Don't know

Oh love, I'm lost
Insane in denial
You keep me with desire
I said you can help me
Too keep me near

I said it takes a little time to say hello

He Bought Me Nikes

2nite

I was a fool to think
That I could wait forever
I'm still standing here
My heart wants to surrender
I'll be here when you need me
Always
I'll be here when you need me
Always
I can't get it out of my head
No
Some things are better left unsaid
You said I should forget you
But it's not that
Easy of a thing to do
I'll be here when you need me
Always
I'll be here when you need me
Always
I can't get it out of my head
No
Some things are better left unsaid
