Skyscraper Stan

Across a career spanning the better part of a decade, two studio albums and countless live performances, Antipodean songwriter Skyscraper Stan has established himself as one of the more thrilling lyricists working in Australia today. Endless months on the road, “singing for his chips”, observing the lives of people in town and country and putting it all down on paper has sharpened Stan’s songwriting to a fine point.

That said, Stan is more than a poet. His song composition is clever, and often surprising. Hooks and melodic changes creep up on you like a thief in the night. His sound, while familiar, is fresh, new and moving. With influences ranging from Stax era soul through to Melbourne post-punk, Stan and his long time collaborators and backing band, the Commission Flats, bounce through sonic templates with reckless abandon.

Jarrah Olive

Jarrah Olive is an alternative, indie folk singer-songwriter from Daylesford, crafting heartfelt, diaristic songs that sound like the late night message you didn’t send or the perfect response you dreamt up after you already left the party. With dreamy melodies and incisive lyrics, she freshly explores themes like friendship and heartbreak and the vulnerability and ridiculousness of being a young woman in this world.
