about

It’s been a long wait for new material from Melbourne 5 piece Little Desert. This new single: ‘Happy’ is their first recording since the release of their debut album Saeva in 2015. ‘Happy’ is a raucous ode to sisterly love and embracing life. A stomping psych-punk killer their loyal fan-base will undoubtedly recognise from their incendiary live show. We’re sure it’s going lure many a new convert to the cult of Little Desert. A strange, magnetic and wild band, with a unique sound all their own.

Little Desert are fronted by the extraordinary vocals of Esther Rivers with Roman Tucker (Rocket Science) on keys, Ash Wyatt (Red Red Krovvy/ Masses) on drums, Bonnie Mercer (Dead River/ Breathing Shrine) on guitar and Ema Dunstan (Hi-Tec Emotions/ Synthetics) on bass. ‘Happy’ was recorded with Paul Maybury at A Secret Location Sound Studio and will be included on upcoming EP Anima set for release in 2019.

“Written on the train on the way back from Scotland it's our first curt, "optimistic" song with no hidden meanings. I wrote it about my sister as I left her behind after visiting her after ages and finding her in a really good place. We've gotten a bit more B52s with these new songs! A bit more groove but still with passion and the psych-out at the end. A bit of a punk edge too. We love playing this song at the end of the set.” Esther Rivers
