Earth-Shaped Hearts draws a musical thread from the minutiae of everyday life to earth’s incomprehensibly vast geological timescales. The texts are drawn from the work of acclaimed Tasmanian poet Kristen Lang, whose words remind us how to be human on an ancient planet.

Enfant illégitime d’un prêtre inconnu, Guillaume Dufay fut l’un des plus grands compositeurs du XVe siècle. Il naît probablement à Cambrai où il fera ses humanités avant de sillonner l’Europe, voyageant de ville en ville. À Rimini, il est au service du Prince Carlo Malatesta, puis on le retrouve à Bologne, à Rome, où il fait partie de la Chapelle papale. Il est appelé ensuite à l’évêché de Genève, devient chanoine de la cathédrale de Lausanne, part pour la Cour de Savoie, puis se rend à Florence où il écrit le motet Nuper rosarum flores pour l’inauguration du duomo de Brunelleschi, à la Cathédrale Santa Maria del Fiore, chanté lors d’un office somptueux célébré par le cardinal de Venise.

The overall theme of the EP explores the idea of inter-personal relationships.’Brisbane’ is apologetic in nature, and details the hardships and complexity of relationships.’Burn’ is about the process of falling out of love, and the distance that follows.’Storm’ also has relationship themes, being about the facade someone has before becoming more a part of their life, and how your opinions shift as that facade comes down.’A vision in green’ is a dream like ballad and deals with themes such as jealousy and loss. ‘Djurachi’ is about taking the information your given and forming your own opinion, and how other people may change that.‘Low tide’ deals heavily with loss.
