'Ultra Lounge' is a filmic exploration into the character of a lounge singer, down on her luck in a wintery urban milieu, plying her trade in dingy evocative nightclubs. It was inspired by 80’s New German Cinema and Nan Goldin photography. Across six tracks, it straddles a balance between driving and catchy rock numbers and more introspective ballads, retaining the same lush and layered instrumentation throughout. It was mixed and mastered by Wade Keighran (Polish Club, Wolf & Cub). It also features guest vocals from Jonnine Standish (HTRK, Jonnine).

The singles from the EP, ‘Grief Filled Avenues,’ ‘Genuflect’ and ‘American Coffee’ received radio airplay on 2ser, Fbi, NTS (UK) and RRR. They also garnered press features on US-based website Post-punk.com, Backseat Mafia, Demure Mag & AMNplify. They were playlisted on The Australian Music Scene, Good Friday by Good Intent & Best New Music on 2ser.
