smol fish \\ Spotlight Sessions

Welcome to our Spotlight Sessions series where we present performances by local and rising talents. Indie rock four-piece 'smol fish' are a band of best friends from Boorloo, Australia. With earnest lyricism and playful instrumentation, the band explores the lovely and lonesome aspects of being a 20-something navigating the world today. 'Sweet Taste' is an exploration of the good that lives within the melancholy. Change is so rapid and constant – hair grows and turns grey, seasons shift, first loves fade, and all this to say that it is easy to turn sour at the state of the world. The romantic nature of nostalgia creates a pang of longing deep within me which occupies that space of both sour and sweet at the same time. The inmate softness of nostalgia can so easily be viewed as weak so it was important that this track held an anthemic power for all the big softies out there who can see the good in the world. There is such strength in being able to express your feelings openly and boldly. 'Grapes' is a song about growing pains. It’s yearning for the feeling of young love while knowing full well you’re in a different stage of life. The sound is a little darker but still maintains elements of our signature tongue in cheek lyricism and quirky synth lines.
