EP Focus: Dan & Amy

"We’re interested in Australia, its people and history, and ‘70s folk harmonies"

Answered by: Dan Arnott

EP title? Sometimes Life

How many releases do you have now? We’ve released two singles before this EP, but this is our first collection of songs on one release.

Was anything in particular inspiring you during the making? We recorded it in a beautiful bluestone church in Footscray. The $2.80 banh mi was inspiring. We’re interested in Australia, its people and history, and ‘70s folk harmonies. Paul Kelly is always there as well.

What’s your favourite song on it? We’ve worked hard on them all, but we love Pretend for its complexity and Sometimes Life for its energy.

We’ll like this EP if we like... Fleet Foxes, The Paper Kites, First Aid Kit, Paul Kelly, Simon & Garfunkel, etc.
