French beatmaker, Onra is making a return to Australia this month. In anticipation for his return, we were lucky to have a few words with him.

With all of this essential information in our hands, we've started to sort out who we're sacrificing to see for other Splendour In The Grass acts.

"Expect very deep, heavy low end. We like to bring a strong physical presence to our sound live."

“The live tour was cool, but it’s boring sometimes to play only your own songs. So now I can play anything – depending on the crowd and my feelings.”

"We’ve definitely grown up as people and musicians generally, and I guess as far as the music goes, we know a lot more about who we are and what we want to create."

"When you’re younger, when you first start a band, you always think it’s going to be easy; like, you’ll record some songs, release them, get immediate triple j play, but it’s been a hard road."

"It’s hard to get any kind of press or interest when you’re an instrumental band. People don’t seem to take anything from it."

We have a chat with George Reid of Alunageorge about the band's visit to Australia for Listen Out.
