The Sydney electronic trio are stepping up their venue sizes and are keen to perform their new material to their fans back home according to the group’s drummer James Hunt.
“When we approach the live show I think a really exciting thing for us is to re-imagine the songs and try to bring a new dimension and new journey to our music.
“A big part of what we do whether it be writing a record or performing it live, is that sense of progression and that sense of tension and release.
“Writing the record was a very introverted and personal process for us, so putting it out to the world after so much time alone feels like a feat in itself, and to see this reaction is overwhelming.
“We’ve been absorbing so much live music lately so there are a million little things we want to try,” Hunt said.
