Many of you will already be familiar with the Australian foursome’s lead single “Climbing Walls”, but now it’s time for a proper introduction with their debut EP properStrange Talk.

Fully equipped with an arsenal of stadium-ready anthems, “Climbing Walls” is all shimmering synths, cascading bass surges and expert delay pedal use, while next single “Eskimo Boy” shines as the bands flagship anthem, churning synths and heavy basslines slowly building up to the kind of dancefloor-swallowing breakdown Neon Gold dreams are made of.
