Looking back on release week, in which many things were released, including the air in my front left tyre 👶

Thankyou so much to all who have been tuning in and listening to Rangirua, it feels so big and beautiful and spooky (positive) to have it out in the world.

𝒜𝒷𝑜𝓊𝓉 𝓉𝒽𝑒 𝓈𝑜𝓃𝑔:

I wrote ‘Rangirua’ while living in Aotearoa NZ back in 2023, moving through some uncertainty about whether to stay in New Zealand or return home to Australia. The title is a kupu (word) in te reo Māori which means ‘confusion’. Rangirua speaks to confusion and uncertainty, while its literal definition “two skies” mirrored the song’s central tension: two homes, two possible futures, and a life suspended between them. I could not speak to the power of this song without first acknowledging the incredible mana and wairua of te ao Māori and the kaumātua (elders) who gave their time, energy and knowledge throughout the journey of living on the motu. As a Pākehā (white person) I understand that it is a deep privilege to learn from and participate in this incredible culture.

l began producing this song back in 2023, tracking instruments and vocals at various studios with some wonderful friends & bandmates. I brought the stems to Yianni in early 2026 with about %65 of them finished, and from that point on, he proceeded to breathe integral life into the project through his bass/guitar playing, synths, plugins, vocals (he’ll chuckle at me for including this) and overall wizardry. I would often bounce him field samples and within 4 minutes he would have distilled the little sparkly parts of them (and the landscapes they were recorded in) with such reverence and care.

Big thanks to: The ZEAL.H band, Lily Atu, Jono Benzur, Bonnie Harris, Naomi Jones, Shanell Van Koeverden, Greg Sheehan, Hanna Wiskari, Amy Mifsud, Sav Stent, Cat Park, Genna Corlett, Béatrice Desy, Pietra Montagner, Evie Bacigalupo & Ethno NZ x
