BIGSOUND 2016 Artist Focus: Braille Face

Answered by: Jordan White

Hometown: Melbourne

Give us a short description your music: Middle-class anxiousness disguised as atmospheric collage-based pop music.

What is the best thing that's happened to you/your band so far? Seeing people have really emotional reactions - good and bad - to songs that were never intended to be heard by anyone but myself has been incredibly humbling. 

Has the party side of the music industry been all you were hoping for so far in your career? I'm not a huge partier. I did go to a club once when I was 16. A friend dressed me up in that classic mid-2000s Ministry of Sound attire. I never recovered. 

What industry lessons would you like to take away from the BIGSOUND conference? I'm really looking forward to meeting with like-minded people who are tireless in their pursuit of making good art. I would like to be able to leave Brisbane feeling supported in that belief.

What acts are you looking forward to checking out at the BIGSOUND showcase? I'm really excited to check out as much as possible but I'm particularly excited about seeing friends Anatole, Broadway Sounds, Ainsley Wills, Habits, Jack Grace, Saatsuma, Lanks, Kira Puru, Olympia, Telling and Woodes.

Why should people come and see you from amongst the many cool bands at BIGSOUND? If you're into emotions and stuff, you'll probably like it. If you don't, there's probably someone really great on downstairs. Also, my labelmates Telling are on straight after me. Do yourself a favour.

When and where is your BIGSOUND showcase? 8 Sep, Woolly Mammoth, 9.10pm. And my labelmates Telling are on directly afterwards.
