Emerging towards the end of 2016, Obongjayar has been called many things – a soul singer, future afrobeat, nu-jazz –...
"We were coming out of a period that felt quite suffocating and restrictive. We just kind of regrouped and re-energised and did it ourselves."
“The world feels strange and in turn making pop music feels even stranger. A healthy dose of levity had to be employed in order to find meaning in the process.”
“It was a shit time to be a band, but it was great to have a vessel to channel all our anxieties and pent-up energy into. I think the album has all that fucked-up 2020/2021 energy in it.”
"For me, I think maybe there’s someone who might not even realise that they're being abused until they listen to these songs."
"Erasers manifest a deeply sensual dreamscape that constantly feels like it’s dissolving at its seams."
"Wet Leg was originally just supposed to be funny.”
"'Process' is a momentous leap forward into full-force post-punk empowerment, with 10 songs engaging with the fractures in so-called ‘Australia’."
"...we’ve come out stronger, more loving, more peaceful and better friends.”
"Through repetitive vocal mantras, layered synths and magnificently textured instrumentation, the raw and reflective debut sings listeners into a future version of themselves."
