AUSTRALIA

“Outside the window is the skylight and in the background is the city.”

“Australia” was recorded in the summer and fall of 2024.
Their songs don’t want to know what they’re talking about.
It’s something they don’t want to discuss.
The words were written inside apartments.
The words were recorded outside in the city.
Walking along the streets of Grigoriou Afxentiou and Oulof Palme.
Parked in a car on Lycabettus Hill.
On the descent of Kifissias.
In a tunnel in the Polydroso stream.
The songs would be different if my days were different.
If I didn’t have to prepare the lesson on a Thursday morning.
If I didn’t download the Australian Devil’s Playground in 2012.
If the deaths of my loved ones weren’t approaching me.
If I didn’t go for a walk on the snowy Lycabettus.
If I didn’t read “Apologies” to the class of 2021 somewhere in Moschato.
If I didn’t discuss their dreams with a group of companions in July 2023.
If I didn’t search forever for her river.
The album is dedicated to where I’ve been having a good time lately.
A nice shop in Tavros with very good and cheap food.
They do their job very well.
I want to do my job very well too.

“The city, its people, its lullaby, its embrace.
Our apartment, its cables, the boiler, the toothbrushes.
Our questions, her answers, her dream, her river”

New songs.
No realism at all.

Out on Digital on April 7th and on LP on May 2nd via Inner Ear.
