Naarm/Melbourne art rock outfit, Think About You (also referred to as TAY by fans), follow up their impressive debut album Taxi Kids (2022), with single ‘Never Never Creek’. The new cut comes alongside the announcement of their sophomore album Don’t Die On Me, out digitally and on limited-edition 12” vinyl on Friday, August 16, independently. The new album expands on a sound that STEW Magazine calls a “unique blend of Celtic folk and Australian garage punk”, evocative of The Goon Sax, intertwined with the wild, runaway instrumentation of Dirty Three.

Think About You comprises of members: D’arcy Noonan (vocals, guitar), Thomas McMahon (vocals, trumpet), Sean Hollis (vocals, bass) and Sunny Brearley (vocals, drums), known for their contributions to The Pinstripes, Birdpop and Mouseatouille alongside TAY.

Think About You catapulted into the local music scene in 2021 after Australian Music Hall of Fame inductee Mary Mihelakos heard an iPhone recording of ‘Isaac’ (demo) on Bandcamp, booking them for their first show. TAY self-released their debut album Taxi Kids the following year, turning down a lucrative international record deal for their 2024 follow-up – opting to release their music independently and firmly rooted in their local community.

Recorded at Rolling Stock Studios in Collingwood with ARIA winner Nao Anzai (Cash Savage, Floodlights, Mildlife), Don’t Die on Me sees TAY repurpose trauma. Lived dramas are re-created and transformed through destructive and reparative noise.
