What a truly specatcular year in the rear view. A recent influx of lovely messages showing us at the top of respective streaming lists has prompted some nice reflection! Ticked off some relatively hefty achievements this year and I'm again reminded none of this would be possible without community. Grateful for anyone who's been listening, seen a show, bought a record or a shirt, donated to creating the album. You guys make the wheels go round. Lookin' forward to more in '26 Lotta love, MW 📸 @ryanpeters.flashpoint @kodak.cowboy @rana_qncy

Photos from our sold-out album launch at @shotkickersmelb are in, and I am happily reliving the glory of that unforgettable night. For those who came from near, those who came from far, those who have followed us from the beginning, all those who were involved in the show, from the bottom of our hearts, thanks for everything. How lucky we are to have the culmination of so many years of work be such a point of celebration, and how affirming in our practice to see all those beautiful smiling faces! So folks, if you liked that one, stay tuned for the next chapter. Lots of love MW 📸 Brilliant shots by @kodak.cowboy

"Thanks for Everything" is out today 🥳🥳🥳 and I'm not crying you're crying. You've heard the story of the gorgeous community behind the realisation of this work, but I've not yet sung the praises of the key players behind this thing. For a long time these songs came to me one by one, and I carried them around with me in my pocket, bringing them out for the occasional one man show or a Big Veranda moment (iykyk), but I always heard them orchestrated in a much grander scale in my head. Circa 2022-23 I received kick after kick after kick up the bum from the people who make up Mini Waters today, and with tireless effort and a lot of fun, these songs took on a new life. In the Autumn of last year I had potentially the time of my life recording this album in @qualityusedcars__ ' Caryard, though I was so stressed at the time I didn't even know it. These peeps are my rocks. Mini Waters are recorded herein: Mitchell Rubly - Lead Vocals, Guitars Francis Tait - Pedal Steel Guitar Mick Power - Guitars Blake Lica - Bass Ben Yarram - Drums, Vocals Izzy Adjei - Percussion, Vocals Recorded by Francis Tait at The Caryard in the Autumn of 2024 All songs written and composed by Mitchell Rubly, except for improvised poetry by Mick Power on 'When I'm Smiling'. 'Here, in the Rented Heavens' arrangement by Blake Lica Pre-production for 'Grand Canyon' and 'I Am My Love' by Andie Bilaniwskyj-Zarins at his place in Doreen Additional vocals on Grand Canyon, I Am My Love, Rocko's Modern Life and When I'm Smiling, And additional triangle on Here, in the Rented Heavens by Tim Winterflood Produced and engineered by Francis Tait Mixed by Dylan Young Mastered by Liam Snowy Halliwell Cover Art by Tiesh Cater Huge thanks to my darling Brook for keeping me on the straight and narrow and for always choosing love 'Thanks for Everything' is dedicated to my Mum, the one person I could never thank enough. Created on the lands of the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung people of the Kulin Nation. Love you all so much, enjoy listening! HAPPY RELEASE DAY EVERYONE!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ xo, MW
