‘Little Space’ is a complete surprise package. The acoustic guitar strumming gives off some ‘Sleeping Satellite’ vibes, before the muted & distorted drum n bass rhythms and rounded bass line bump in for support.

‘Promises’ has this weird blend of 80s-era Mental As Anything-meets-The Kooks sound happening; it manages to sound current (like a lot of vibing surf-indie-rock) while simultaneously sounding nostalgically Australian.
