Dunedin Indie Pop outfit Marlin’s Dreaming have announced a nine date tour of Australia & New Zealand to celebrate the release of their new album HIRL due later this year and the band’s first since the critically acclaimed record Hasten in 2021.
HIRL Australia tour dates:
26/09 – Oxford Art Factory, Sydney
27/09 – The Brightside, Brisbane
28/09 – The Nightcat, Melbourne
Following on from their folk-accented single Earnestly (featuring Erny Belle) last month, Marlin’s Dreaming’s new track Hello, My Dear dances between softly spoken country verse, towering chorus, and back again with the vocal dynamism of frontman Semisi Ma’ia’i.
Recorded between the renowned Roundhead Studios and an airy room in Central Otago, Hello, My Dear takes on bold sonorous production reminiscent of the band’s earliest work. The single is accompanied by a music video directed by Semisi, in which an ascetic artist isolated from the world around him interacts with past and future versions of himself.
Marlin’s Dreaming is an indie pop band from Dunedin, New Zealand. Formed in 2017 by longtime friends Semisi Ma’ia’i (Vocals & guitar), Oscar Johns (Bass), Hamish Morgan (Drums) & De Stevens (Guitar), the band found unexpected success with their debut album ‘Lizard Tears’ (2017) which garnered international acclaim including from COMPLEX who called it an “exciting, intoxicating debut”.
Subsequent releases like ‘Talk On/Commic’ (2018) and ‘Quotidian’ (2020) showcased their evolution into angular guitars and angst-driven melodies, earning praise from publications like CLASH, NME & Brooklyn Vegan. Their introspective 2021 release ‘Hasten’ was an acoustically driven album exploring themes of post-pandemic life in New Zealand’s desolate, rugged south island.
They have toured with Parquet Courts, The Chills, Kirin J Callinan & Dope Lemon.
Having played sold-out tours across Australia and New Zealand & played Marlin’s Dreaming continues to push the musical boundaries, heightening guitar pop to a fine art.

Charades Events invites one of our favourites, Detroit’s Eric Cloutier for an epic 7+ hour journey.
Eric Cloutier

Aron Freidman, Thump: “When I was in Berlin last December, I must have heard around twenty different DJs play in one weekend. But only one of them really stuck with me, and that was Eric Cloutier. His sound was dark but warm, steady but dynamic, techno but still house; original and captivating.” Eric Cloutier’s standards are representative of the pre-social media craze and arguably the old adage of letting music speak for itself. Cloutier’s twenty-plus-year commitment has been built upon his integrity as a DJ and authority as a selector. A self-described “record digging psychopath,” one only has to refer to his mix of highly sought-after cuts from Driftwood Records to see the lengths Cloutier will go to in order to procure the perfect selection. This is truly Cloutier’s nature – one of zeal and infatuation towards the warm, dubby, hypnotic house and techno that has come to characterize his sound as well as his masterful ability to bridge the gap between dance music’s past and its future.
An exception to the norm, Cloutier is not one to capitalize on his Detroit origins. Moving to New York in his 20’s, he became a regular face at The Bunker where he began to further define his innate style of body-orientated music. Now situated in Berlin, where he often shows up behind the decks of niche alcoves as well as the world’s best clubs, Cloutier’s reputation as an unequivocal, dexterous force is increasingly becoming one of note. His talents as a producer have also been growing of late, with the establishment of his own imprint Palinoia, Greek for “the obsessive repetition of an act until it is perfected or mastered.” The label has become the new home and optimization for Cloutier’s evolving undertakings. Through Palinoia, Cloutier manages to further synthesize slick, dubby club music to slide into his DJ sets as well as feature lesser-known talent he’s discovered. He’s a DJ for whom quality – above all else – is the watchword.
