YEARN IV captures the brooding and vivid world of two musical outsiders. Raised by the internet, the pair find their voice amid a sea of clashing cultural experiences and sonic histories, finding solace in the isolation of contemporary urban Australia.

The album art for YEARN IV was made using an original photofit identikit. This exact kit was used by the victorian police from the 1950s through to the 1970s, long before facial compositing software existed.
The kits contained hundreds of interchangeable facial fragments which police would assemble by hand to reconstruct a suspects face. The portraits were far from exact - crude composites built from fear and guesswork.
The process was notoriously unreliable, often shaped by bias and the limitations of the kits themselves.
Music video I made for “ZOO” by @_teether@kuyaneil_@chaptermusic out now. Shot on an infrared camera, each frame printed onto matte paper in a 3x2 grid, scanned and played back in an image sequence.
