new single ‘running through the fields’ out sept 26


Our new track ’Running Through The Fields’ is about looking back at your life as a child but also letting go of your inner child with the transition to adulthood. It’s about the ongoing perseverance through life and maintaining an inner strength and hope while working hard with determination. The track uses driving acoustic guitar and mandolin for an up-tempo groove with similarities to R.E.M. and a hint of The Lumineers. Playful with unique dynamics and interesting vocal lines, including capturing harmonies at the end.

Designed by 16-year-old digital artist ‘Conny’, the cover art is vibrant and colourful to convey hope while the running father and child (or inner child of the father) are anonymous in black but determined in their stride.

Recorded at Fireswamp studios in The Blue Mountains, ‘Running Through The Fields’ was produced, mixed and mastered by engineer Josh Schuberth, co-produced by Benjamin Knight. Josh has worked with artists including Josh Pyke, Fanny Lumsden and The Wolfe Brothers. Due out September 26, pre-save at https://ditto.fm/running_through_the_fields!

new single ‘fate’ due out oct 20

Our new single ‘Fate’ is due for release on October 20th. ‘Fate’ was recorded, mixed and mastered at Fireswamp Studios by engineer Josh Schuberth (Josh Pyke, Amber Lawrence, The Wolfe Brothers, Fanny Lumsden), in The Blue Mountains. A heartfelt track, ‘Fate’ combines indie folk and folktronica with progressive pop/rock sounds, tribal percussion, and Middle Eastern influences. Our eclectic style is present in the track, which draws upon alternative folk/rock/pop, world music and percussive elements, with the use of instruments including the djembe and 12-string guitar. ‘Fate’ was produced by Josh Schuberth and Benjamin Knight.

‘Fate’ is about a new relationship in the beginning. Something special is forming between two people, but one must depart on a trip. The song is about the journey of excitement, anticipation, and contemplation of a romantic future, as well as the anxiety and desperation of waiting for someone special to return. Then, realising that when they do come back, that they have a special connection and can start their journey together. #piperlain #newmusic #folkrock #folkpop #indiemusic #joshschuberth #fireswampstudios
