Lastlings create music that exists in the shimmering space between a crowded dancefloor and a lonely bedroom. Their sound is defined by a sophisticated blend of deep house rhythms and ethereal indie-pop sensibilities, characterized by Amy Dowdle's breathy, emotive vocals floating over Josh Dowdle's meticulously crafted synth landscapes. It is music that feels both expansive and deeply intimate, like a secret whispered in a cavernous club.
What sets them apart is their ability to maintain a 'cool' emotional distance while delivering hooks that feel urgent and human. They lean into the 'dark' side of pop, utilizing minor-key melodies and cinematic production that evokes the feeling of urban isolation. Their connection to the Rose Avenue aesthetic is clear, prioritizing atmosphere and texture over aggressive drops or frantic energy.
Start with 'Deja Vu' to hear their signature blend of driving percussion and haunting melody, then move into the full-length 'First Contact' to experience their ability to build a cohesive, nocturnal world. It is the ideal soundtrack for anyone who finds beauty in the quiet moments of the night.
Lastlings are an Australian electronic pop band from Gold Coast, Queensland made up of brother and sister duo Amy and Josh Dowdle. They have performed at Coachella, Spilt Milk, Splendour in the Grass, and The Plot. The duo are well known for their song "Deja Vu", which received high rotation on triple j. Lastlings supported Two Door Cinema Club on their Australian national tour.
