Augie March
Ornate, literary indie rock that feels like a long-lost novel. Dense arrangements and poetic vocals for quiet afternoons and deep reflection.

Augie March is a seminal Australian indie rock band formed in 1996, led by the singular songwriting voice of Glenn Richards. Their sound identity is defined by a sophisticated blend of chamber folk, art rock, and baroque pop, characterized by Richards' dense, literary lyrical style which often explores existential themes and the Australian landscape.
The band's career arc is marked by early critical acclaim for 'Sunset Studies' (2000) and 'Strange Bird' (2002), followed by major commercial success with 'Moo, You Bloody Choir' (2006), which won the Australian Music Prize. Despite a hiatus in the early 2010s, their return with 'Havens Dumb' (2014) solidified their status as elder statesmen of the Australian scene. Culturally, they occupy a space between the pub-rock tradition and high-art intellectualism, influencing a generation of Australian songwriters who value lyrical complexity. Critical consensus views them as one of the most important Australian bands of the 21st century, praised for their refusal to simplify their sound for radio while still achieving mainstream resonance.
