Formed in 2020 in the Yirrkala community in Australia’s East Arnhem Land, King Stingray began as a way for singer Yirrŋa Yunupiŋu and guitarist Roy Kellaway to set themselves apart from Yothu Yindi, the groundbreaking First Nations ensemble that features family members of both. Even given that rich musical background, neither could probably have predicted the success of their own project, which breezily blends hooky surf rock with traditional clapsticks, yidaki (didgeridoo), and certain lyrics sung in Yolŋu Matha. Released on the label founded by carefree peers The Chats, their 2020 debut single, “Hey Wanhaka,” was a stirring enough celebration of land and nature to get nominated for Australia’s Environmental Music Prize—and their 2022 self-titled album followed suit by scoring the Australian Music Prize. King Stingray songs regularly celebrate pride of place, whether it’s fleeing the city for the bush (2021’s “Get Me Out”) or bonding with community pets (2022’s “Camp Dog”). A proud Gumatj man, Yunupiŋu often cites specific place names with a romance usually reserved for longtime partners. The band’s 2024 album, For the Dreams, even combines those two threads on “Cat 5 (Cyclone),” likening intense early infatuation to a proper force of nature.
