Surging with stadium-sized ambition, this Sydney band's darkly empowering rock palpably soars via cresting orchestral currents and resounding percussion. Still, the main attraction is frontman David Le'aupepe, whose frank lyrics linger over his personal flaws, while his charming, gritty baritone crackles with catharsis. Their 2015 debut album took influence from the propulsive, brooding urgency of heroes like Arcade Fire and The National, while 2017's acclaimed Go Farther in Lightness propelled their sound to new heights, a cacophonous middle-ground between riotous celebration and after-hours dissolution.
