Australian musicians Headaches (also known as E^ST) and Golden Vessel (also known as 1tbsp) have been delighting fans with a series of captivating singles over the past few months. Tracks like ‘Make it Somehow’, ‘Happy Days in Happy Weather’, ‘I Inhabit My Life (And It Feels So Good)’, ‘The Song Of You’ and ‘Be My Own Man’ have teased the promise of a collaborative album, and the wait is finally over.
This album is a refreshing compilation of distinctive indie-pop music infused with captivating alternative dance elements. The collaborative effort between Headaches and Golden Vessel has resulted in a collection that is both sonically adventurous and emotionally resonant.
Reflecting on the creation process, Headaches shares, “I had gone on a bit of a hiatus from writing and creating, and actually wondered if I would ever release music again. But Max (Golden Vessel) helped to create an expressive and safe environment for us to just explore ideas together, with no pressure on there being a particular outcome.”
The album carries underlying themes of letting go of control, being vulnerable, and embracing life as it is. “Being present in your body and environment, being honest with yourself and others, and trusting that things will work out how they need to,” Headaches continues. “We tried to be honest in our lyricism and musicality, not overthinking the process and just letting things flow how they needed to.”
Both Headaches and Golden Vessel have poured their hearts into this project, resulting in an album that feels both deeply personal and universally relatable.
Whether you’re a longtime fan or new to their music, this album promises to offer a refreshing and immersive listening experience. Dive into the world they’ve created and make friends with the space around you.
