nausea ~
first song that (johnny and i) wrote just the two of us. came together like a breeze, decided to record it without haste. It uses a chordal shape inversion i stylized and now use in most songs & unlike most others, the lyrics were written before the melodies.

zig zag ~
the chorus was written about 15 years ago on the piano. A dandy warhol homage celebrating hedonism and debauchery, teleporting you to a surreal Herman Hesse-esk novel or blade / eyes wide shut clandestine rave captured on a cellphone.

supernatural ~
This quirky bop felt unfinished until we had the bright idea to add a pre chorus that happens only once of course and by good fortune procure my exuberant cousin (practically sister) @imogenclarkmusic to lend her angelic alabaster vocals on to the track last minute.

elevate ~
This was the early stirrings of what was to become The Cherubs. The first thing written for this ep and only one in open g tuning. The chorus was written immediately on my way to a writing session with @luca_crothers when i got trapped in an elevator.. so i used it as a metaphor.

favourite thing ~
Good friend and guitar prodigy @kyrandanielmusic had returned from one of his world tours performing his sensual guitar licks for the hoi polloi to surf my couch once again. One bright Sunny heatwave morning John, Kyran and I decided we should record a song in the house with the help of Liam and Tom respectively. The finishing product is a bona fide peculiar love letter riddled with influences ranging from libertines to george benson. The song went through several incarnations over the writing process thus it may take a couple of listens but worth it in our humble opinion.

tropical peaches ~
Another prematurely written piece in the puzzle with @luca_crothers & @jxsejxse influence. An ode to the feeling of popping a sparkling in the sunshine with mates listening to frank ocean and the gap band. A yacht rock /jazz-fusion number that saw new life when @casebass123 composed the funkiest bass line on it & @liambradburyclark added his slick n sensual sauce. AND a drum machine. everything sounds better with a four on the floor right? the end x by @turbo_johnny

tropical peaches out now!!! 🍑

The creation of this song had many iterations. Beginning as an electric piano groove session with myself and luca top lining back in 2021. To John and i inviting josé, liam and tim into the studio to flesh out the cosmic funk jams with us.

The drums were recorded live in order to capture the atmosphere through pete’s sped-fast spotless production. Lastly it would be a miss not to mention casey’s effortlessly rhythmic beefy bass lines selflessly serving while also taking the lead and melodically brilliant. Thank you all for your contribution towards this Summer bop! x by @turbo_johnny

So grateful to be welcomed to the Pearl Drums family. The first drums I ever played on were Pearls, and continue to teach the kids at my old primary school on that exact kit.

Can’t believe that I’m now endorsed by the company who’s drums I love and have played forever, basically exclusively.

Thank you to @pearldrumsaustralia and everyone who’s supported me in my music career, this is a huge milestone and a dream come true.

The heroes at Pearl made my dream custom Masterworks kit, which I had a blast showing off around the country with @nyxenmusic on the recent Grapevine Gathering festival tour. Thank you! ❤️🥁

I recorded the drums for Silence in Motion & PXNK in my lockdown recording studio - thrilled that these tracks are finally out in the world. A dream come true to actually be playing on a @nyxenmusic track. by @turbo_johnny
