Hobart Based, chilled pop groovers Kudo Joy have just released their debut EP titled “Premonition,” comprising six enthralling tracks that give us our daily dose of indie groove.
Along with this release, Kudu Joy are continuing their visual story with part two of the EP’s film, which plays to the track “Clarity,” a joyful story of gathering new friends and support, still within this tarot card world.
Lead vocalist, Sabine Bester, expressed her friendships and love ending, changing, shifting, then growing, inspiring her thought and writing process for the track ‘Clarity.’ “I kind of created my own mantra to help me move forward, and embrace the new community I now have around me. Lyrically, it expresses the weightlessness that comes from letting go of toxicity. Musically, it makes me dance, which is eternally good for your health. And visually, it shows a woman in a ridiculous two-piece metallic jacket and shorts (sewn by yours truly), fanging a dirt bike across the West coast of Tassie, then having a bit of a sand dune party with her stunning friends. It's a radiant expression of gratification.”
The band have spent the last summer gigging around Tassie, highlights being A Festival Called Panama, Day On The Lawn, and having recently supported The Veronicas in Hobart. The band consists of Sabine Bester on Vocals and Trumpet, Thomas Hann on Guitar and Vocals, Jay Jarome on Keys and Vocals, Sasha Gavleck on Bass and Lewis Elliot on drums.
Sabine started performing with her musician parents when she was a kid, learning to sing traditional Balkan music from her mother. After studying Jazz at the Conservatorium of Music in Hobart, she went on to form a band for her original songs in 2018. Like most Tasmanian kids, Sabine grew up sailing boats with her family accompanied by camping trips to secluded parts of the island. Campfire sing-alongs with her family friends were often a mix of Balkan songs from her parents and Irish reels from the other families.
The PR Files are so excited to be working with Kudo Joy!
