Have You Heard: Japanese Wallpaper

How did you get your start? I got my start learning classical piano as a kid. I have since learnt a bunch of other instruments through school, which blossomed into a love of playing and then writing my own music.

Sum up your musical sound in four words? I guess something like ‘ambient, punchy dream-pop’, but I don’t know really. I’m not very good at talking about my music.

If you could support any band in the world – past or present – who would it be? At the moment
it would probably be Owen Pallett, who’s this amazing composer and violinist from the States. If there’s an orchestral part on the record you’re listening to right now, chances are he did it. I feel there would be a lot to learn from watching his show every night.

You’re being sent into space, no iPod, you can bring one album – what would it be? Pet Sounds by
The Beach Boys. Perfect. If it was something new, I’m really enjoying Syro by Aphex Twin.

Greatest rock’n’roll moment of your career to date? Uh, I wish I had an answer to this! I’m not very rock’n’roll. My mum still takes me to all my shows.

Why should people come and see your band? For the same reason they should go and see any other band, I guess – hearing live music is a really special experience.

When and where for your next gig? 20 Nov, Kelvin Club for Melbourne Music Week! It’s free!
