about

The limitations of the duo setting have always felt like an asset in trying to create a singular world; It can close doors but open up other ones you might not have known existed. In writing the music to Byron Bay, Star Rover took a simple melodic seed and tried to explore all of the spaces around it. During the process Will & Jeremy often talked about how harmony and texture can evoke certain temperatures and climates. The repeated guitar phrase became a centerpiece; bright and beaming yet aquatic, hypnotic and perpetual like waves.

Later that year Jeremy was on tour in Australia and had a sweltering day off in Byron Bay. He noticed a solitary woman lying on the beach close to the water, almost daring the enormous waves breaking on the shore to reach her. But they never did. The initial melody popped into his head and a lyric emerged: “So close/ the waves almost touching her toes/ she knows.
