About:

Fresh from touring with The Bamboos across the east coast, AXOLOTL present their debut EP and launch shows in Sydney and Melbourne.

AXOLOTL is a collaboration bred in a Melbourne home studio spearheaded by Ella Thompson and Dustin McLean. They share a love of cinematic, lush, layered production combined with lyrical songwriting. Inspired by artists such Little Dragon, Leonard Cohen, Feist, St Vincent and Radio Head, AXOLOTL blend electronics and raw sounds to create innovative work.

The debut single ‘Garden Lane’ released November last year received rave reviews, being described as ‘World class’ by Triple J’s Richard Kingsmill. Punctuated by the lead single and clip ‘Electricity,’ AXOLOTL’s unique blend of whimsical pop (with a nod to classical music and cutting edge electronica) will see them gaining a whole new stack of fans as this breadth of influences is synthesised almost perfectly in to just six trim songs on ‘Autonomy.’ They are also one of the few bands using electronics whose live show successfully translates from the studio to the stage. See for yourself in October as AXOLOTL present ‘Autonomy’ LIVE.
