Her recordings utilise a combination of both 6- and 12-string guitar, soprano and tenor ukulele, ambient backing-vocals, and improvised percussive elements including a chicken egg, her cat purring, and a jar of nails.

Wintercoats:
A master of ethereal delicacies, Melbourne’s Wintercoats aka James Wallace combines his chameleonic compositional talents and profound arrangement dexterity to create aural artworks of fragility and grandeur.
Wallace’s work is rich in symbolism; narrations of unwanted and uncontrollable realities, but ideologically hopeful, optimistic and confident, seamlessly weaving violin, glockenspiel, piano and a plethora of other instruments into a glorious yet unmistakably poignant artistic vision, fortified by haunting and cavernous vocals. Steadily honing his craft, Wallace has been building a legion of fans around the globe. He’s recently toured nationally playing prestigious theatres with the likes of Sarah Blasko and Beach House and has also been the support act of choice for the likes of tUNE-yARDS, Julianna Barwick, How To Dress Well and Perfume Genius.

Fox + Sui:
Fox + Sui are Andras Fox and Sui Zhen, two musicians who share a love of early electronic music and pacific ambience. Their new single ‘Summer Storm’ is a lo-fidelity collaboration that begins with the sound of water lapping against the mixing desk.
Fox + Sui met in 2010 as participants at the Red Bull Music Academy in London. Respective solo releases in 2012 quietly announced Sui Zhen as a songwriter with a knack for improvisation and experimentation within traditional structures, and Andras Fox as an electronic musician who negotiates a range of moods, tones and wood panelled instruments with finesse.
As a duo Fox + Sui fold together a sophisticated selection of shared influences including James Pants, Antena and Arthur Lyman. They create their own brand of dream pop that toys with traditional pop sensibilities and finds understated revelry in the details. Their’s is sound that incorporates the knowing naiveté of folk art and the simplicity of garage electronica.
