NSW wood-nymph duo Willow Beats have finally emerged from their seven-month hibernation in a big way, inking a new record deal with Pilerats, announcing their sophomore EP, as well as dropping this brand new potion of their mystical, elemental electronica, ‘Merewif’.
‘Merewif’ conjures a lush soundscape that transcends reality and plunges into a spiritual realm somewhere “under the sea”. The pair are experts at weaving fantasies – Kalyani’s dreamy, elven-like vocals narrative the listener through an aural trip of Narayana’s addictive, hallucinogenic production that makes you feel like you’re dancing barefoot at a bush doof.
Willow Beats’ intoxicating sound already garnered huge hype last year, earning their fair share of Triple J play and winning over crowds at Falls and Strawberry Fields (where this writer can confirm that people were in fact dancing to them naked in the dirt), and with a shiny new record deal and cultivating sound, they seem destined for even more success in the months to come.
Willow Beats’ sophomore EP releases on June 27th via Pilerats Records. Take a spin of ‘Merewif’ below.
