For his 3rd album, Winston Surfshirt surrounded himself with his favorite artists and exceptional musicians including Talib Kweli, Kimbra, Genesis Owusu, Dope Lemon, Young Franco, Ramirez, Devin the Dude, Milan Ring and many others, propelling Surfshirt's characteristic sound into uncharted spheres. The six-member Sydney collective, Winston Surfshirt, has spent the past six years establishing themselves as one of Australia and the world's premier indie-R&B outfits. Building a dedicated fanbase from two dreamy, nonchalant albums and a handful of unforgettable collaborations, they are an unpretentious cult hero band. Led by the eponymous Winston Surfshirt, the band channels a kind of vintage rock star, guided less by ego than by openness, earnestness, and a desire to share their music with the world. Combining a classic West Coast hip-hop sound with the snap of psych-pop and unique sunny Australian charm, the band is a testament to the power of free spirit and casual virtuosity. Breaking through with "Be About You" in 2017, Winston Surfshirt went on to release multi-platinum singles and sell-out tours across Australia and Europe. Across two brilliant and indelible records - 2017's Sponge Cake and 2019's Apple Crumble - they built a catalog of warm, impeccably produced hits, earning praise from Zane Lowe and, surprisingly, Sir Elton John, the latter calling them "his favorite band of the moment." Their reputation as a bold and undeniable collective - bolstered by their status as a true live band among so many DJ and vocalist acts - has led to packed sets at major festivals including Splendor In The Grass and Groovin' The Moo.
