Q1 – Who is in your band?
We are Leo Stannard and Mali-Koa.
Q2 – What is your take on your own sound?
Imagine if MGMT and Daft Punk met at a dusty desert rave, something like that. Maybe Empire of the Sun and Rufus Du Sol are also kicking about at this party. We just want to make music that makes us feel good.

Night Feels. It pretty much encapsulates what we’re trying to do – fun, free, in the feels.
Q4 – What is the plan for rest of 2023?
We’ve had a wild year and all that’s left to do is turn up to the studio every day for about another month and see if we can make any magic. We’ve just come off tour so it feels exciting to be back in the studio, making music we love after seeing a bit of the world.
Q5 – What is one song you wish you wrote?
Daft Punk – Around The World.

Daft Punk for production, Empire of the Sun for melodies and and Gorillaz for the artistic vision.
