Feeling super stoked to be included in Radio One 91FM‘s Top 11 most popular tracks of 2021, under Mazagran’s Hit Picks. Feeling the love and sending the love As an aside, if you’re ever looking for coffee/coffee beans in Dunedin, definitely head to Mazagran – delicious! If you manage to tune into Radio One while doing so, that’s a good time all round.

We’re totally blown away for our album ‘Love You To Death’ to make it to #2 on Kev Rowland’s Album of the Year list for 2021, alongside the ever so wonderful Troy Kingi & French for Rabbits. Kev has reviewed music for over 30 years and is incredibly prolific in doing, so we are feeling very humbled and grateful: https://www.muzic.net.nz/news/12205/kevs-top-10s-2021…

Super stoked to see our song ‘Honey Bees’ coming in at #9 on the SRN (Student Radio Network) Top 10 for 2021, alongside Opposite Sex and Mermaidens. We were stoked to make it to #1 for a couple of weeks when we released the song, but to be in the top 10 for the year is like receiving a hot chocolate in the middle of winter.

Thoroughly recommend checking out the other songs and acts on this list as well – some absolutely bangers – Ha the Unclear, Ben Woods, Aldous Harding & Adelaide Cara 🧜‍♀️💆‍♀️🧠💄

We decided to get some ‘Love You To Death’ t-shirts made, and managed to get the wonderful Chelsea Prastiti on board to help make a design we’re super happy with.

We even got some photos of us in them (c/o my lovely flatmate Erika – who is also playing in Vatican’t at our Wellington show on Thursday August 12th). They feel nice and are super comfortable.

It’s been a big week for us over at Grawlixes. We just got back from the first 3 dates of our tour in Nelson at The Boathouse, Marahau at Tim’s Place and Takaka at The Mussel Inn. Thank you to everyone for coming out and enjoying the shows. It’s so lovely to show people our new music, and have people really loving it.

The album reviews have started coming in as well, so far from Jess for Qobuz, Tony Stamp from Radio NZ Music & Kev Rowland from Muzic.net.nz. Kev’s was a real highlight with him saying “within 90 seconds of Honey Bees I was enthralled, and immediately felt that this was why I review, as every so often something comes through which is so very special indeed that it has a major impact on me. This is one of those albums, and from the very beginning I knew this was significant, and that feeling kept growing as the album kept playing….It is timeless….They are soon going to be undertaking a 12-date tour, which on the evidence of this is not to be missed, as this is something which will be enjoyed by lovers of folk, country, acoustic, singer/songwriter material. Simply essential”

We also found out Honey Bees is #1 on the SRN charts for a 2nd week running, which is truly humbling. We are very grateful for everyone for enjoying our music, requesting the songs on the radio, and voting. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Mindblowing!! ‘Dalliance’ was added to Qobuz’s ‘New in Folk’, ‘New Releases: South Pacific’, ‘Hi-Res New Releases’ and the album also received a Qobuz homepage feature banner!

For those who don’t know, Qobuz is the equivalent of Apple Music, but for France. This is a pretty big deal.

WOW!!! Our latest single ‘Dalliance’ has also just made Apple Music‘s ‘New Music Daily’ today.

Check it out (#40): https://music.apple.com/…/pl…

We thought it was super insane that ‘City Across the Bay’ also got added to the New Music Daily the other day (like a .34 chance or 1 in 300). What are the odds of getting on twice?! We are alongside acts like John Mayer, Thom Yorke, CHVRCHES & Shawn Mendes…Wow!!

Massive thank you to Apple Music & our amazing distributor DRM NZ. As well as Home Alone Music. And big thanks to RNZ Music & Undertheradar.co.nz for helping us get out music out there.

If you want to be one of the first people in the world to get ‘Dalliance’ you can buy it on our new album, OR listen on Apple Music.
