Woodes
Crystalline vocals floating over cinematic, nature-inspired electronics. It is art-pop that feels like a deep breath in a quiet forest.

Woodes is the creative vehicle for Melbourne-based producer and songwriter Elle Graham. Emerging in the mid-2010s Australian indie scene, she quickly established a reputation for 'environmental pop' - a style that merges high-fidelity electronica with organic, nature-centric themes.
Her career arc shows a steady evolution from collaborative electronic projects (notably with Elkkle) to a fully realized solo identity as an art-pop auteur. Graham is a rare triple-threat in the pop space, handling her own production, songwriting, and visual direction, which has led to a highly cohesive brand aesthetic often involving fantasy and naturalism. Her work is frequently supported by triple j and has seen international traction, particularly in Scandinavia, likely due to the 'glacial' and 'ethereal' qualities she shares with Nordic pop artists. Critically, she is praised for her technical proficiency in vocal production and her ability to make complex, layered arrangements feel airy and light. Her influence web connects the avant-pop of Björk with the accessible indie-pop of contemporaries like Vera Blue.
