Capricornia

A sun-baked collection of mid-tempo rock. Acoustic textures and literary lyrics evoke the vast, dusty beauty of the Australian interior with a weary wisdom.

It's the Oils returning to the dusty, anthemic sound that made them legends, but with a wiser, more poetic heart.

A sun-drenched, weary optimism that finds beauty in the struggle for the land.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The shimmering, jangly guitar opening of Golden Age that feels like a sunrise over a coastal highway.

The transition into the sparse, haunting acoustic storytelling of Luritja Way.

The slow-burning, atmospheric build of Poets and Slaves that serves as a grand, weary finale.
