Willow Beats

Their final show sold out, and was by all accounts a good'un.. Header Photo: Willow Beats @ Mondo, Perth by Aaron Webber Starting a night of quality Melbourne-based electronica acts, hypnotic trio Yujen graced the stage full of down-tempo melodies and even a sample from Nick Murphy (Chet Faker), the ambient openers ripping through a set that included the impressive single Try It Over. Vocalist Sam Tilley revealing “we showed [Chet Faker] the song and he was searching for someone to sing on it, before just deciding on doing it himself”. With stellar support from brothers Will and Mitch Anderson this is a group to keep an eye on. Alta brought many things to their set; and while an inflatable goon bag was not one of them, somehow a shiny silver bag was still escorted through the crowd as the duo started what was to be a vibrant set. Shifting from mellow vibes to a more charged atmosphere was made possible by frontwoman Hannah Lesser’s ability to showcase a feisty persona and engage the c

Go underwater with Willow Beats ahead of the release of their new EP, Water.. With their latest single Merewif announcing Willow Beats as a part of the Pilerats Records family, along with just generally killing it, it's time for the world to see the video clip. Premiering yesterday on PIGEONS & PLANES, it's a tumbling bustle of mystical excitement, bringing the duo’s water-soaked visions for both the single and the upcoming EP to life. The clip was filmed almost completely underwater by the same groundbreaking RED camera technology used in the The Hobbit, and is full of the kind of motion only Willow Beats could conjure.

It was shot both in an indoor pool, and the stunning and salty surroundings of Rottnest Island, showcasing the outfit’s ability to make even the most sublime and other-worldy fit right next to the beats of us mere mortals: Water is an invitati

The newest members of the Pilerats Records fam have some new music and tour to boot.. Save for some rare appearances at Hong Kong's Clockenflap Festival, Australia's mighty Falls Fest (and of course their sell out solo tour!) Willow Beats have spent most of the last 12 months locked in the studio. We're stoked to tell you, IT'S BEEN WORTH THE WAIT, and today we welcome Willow Beats to the Pilerats Records family :))) Straight from their forthcoming sophomore EP check out the swampy twilight tones of brand new single Merewif. Stooped in fantasy, mystery, and the stories of Hare Krishna folklore, soul, love, and light burst through Merewif. Narayana’s tribal electronica, full of shadows and dust, with twisting starlight synths and heart-beat baselines, all wrapped up in the caramel vocal chords of the beautiful, and commanding, Kalyani Mumtaz.

The electronic duo head around the country in support of their Alchemy EP.

They seriously know their shit and do not fail to deliver a banging night out.
