“Hatchling delivers gentle songs with a strong arm, tough little tunes that’ll slip behind your defences, gentle numbers that’ll stab you in the heart without a second thought. Rich, atmospheric, smart, and delightful, it’s a hell of a set.” Gallery Listen

“Hatchling’s confident, swaggering sound is both a joy and a lesson. Many artists overdo it out of an abundance of enthusiasm but this set holds its poise, and never once loses its balance. We could all learn a lesson from that, as well as taking the time to just enjoy the richness of the songs.”

I would like to acknowledge that the gigs that are pictured here, the stages they’re played on, the bars and venues they’re held in, and the good times they represent, are all held on lands that were never ceded by Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. I acknowledge these First Australians as the traditional custodians of the continent, whose cultures are among the oldest living cultures in human history. I pay respect to the Elders of the community and extend my recognition to their descendants.
