hickey

Shimmering Australian indie pop that weaponizes sun-drenched guitars against the sting of a messy breakup. Vibrant, woozy, and emotionally charged.

It's the perfect soundtrack for dancing around your room while you're still mad at your ex.

A vibrant, high-energy exploration of heartbreak that feels like a sunburnt afternoon turning into a restless night.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The explosive, cathartic release of the chorus in 'car' where the guitars finally boil over

The way 'i hate this tune' uses a deceptively upbeat melody to mask biting, self-deprecating lyrics

The rhythmic stutter and shimmering synth bed that anchors the bridge of 'who’s your boyfriend'

The stripped-back, vulnerable vocal delivery during the final minute of 'jazz burger'
