Australian duo Geowulf play a particularly winsome strain of bright, melodic dream pop that helped them win a fan base, especially in Europe, where they based themselves shortly after forming. The project of Star Kendrick and Toma Banjanin, Geowulf found some success with early singles "Saltwater" and "Don't Talk About You" before issuing their full-length debut, Great Big Blue, in 2018. A second album, My Resignation, followed in 2019. Originally hailing from the coastal town of Noosa, Australia, Kendrick and Banjanin met in their teens and then moved to Europe, spending their time between London, Berlin, and Gothenburg. The duo started writing together after Kendrick had laid down a few demo vocal tracks and asked Banjanin to flesh them out. The resulting guitar and synth-laden dream pop caught the ear of London-based independent 37 Adventures, which snapped up their debut 2016 single, "Saltwater." At the end of the year, the pair released a second track, "Don't Talk About You." Their fan base expanded in 2017 when Geowulf issued "Won't Look Back" and "Get You" before collecting them for their debut EP, Relapse, in June. Over the next eight months, the duo focused on touring and recording their debut album, issuing singles like "Hideaway" and "Drink Too Much," both of which appeared on the full-length Great Big Blue in 2018. A year later, after a barrage of singles, the band released their sophomore LP, My Resignation. ~ Rich Wilson
