We were invited by @cerine_ruby_ to chuck a track on this absolutely sick mix tape. So we stuck a hand under the couch and found this previously unreleased track - SEPARATION. We recorded and mixed it ourselves one icy weekend in the Macedon Ranges, on the land of the Kulin Nations. There's a bunch of other great bands featured on this tape and word is it's been very carefully curated, so no skipping! Link in bio 🖤
