Geowulf announces forthcoming EP, Twinkly Depression
Australian indie artist Geowulf has returned with the announcement of her new EP, Twinkly Depression, alongside the release of new single, "Top Down".
“This song began as a bit of a devo (Australian for devastating) moment,” Kendrick explains. “Written mostly about my struggle to recover from postnatal anxiety, its lyrics reflect an unraveling and a quiet cry for help. But then my producer and friend, Duncan Mills, breathed new life into it, turning it into this unexpected upbeat banger. I love how it’s taken on a new energy—it’s a deeply sad song, but you wouldn’t know that unless you really dug into the lyrics.”
Twinkly Depression is a collection of “happy-sad” songs that blend heartbreak with breezy, nostalgic sonics. “I originally created a mood board with this name while planning a shoot,” Kendrick shares. “It struck me that it captured the feeling of the EP perfectly—heartbreaking at its core, but still hopeful and nostalgic.”
“When I began writing for this EP, I wasn’t in the best headspace, but I didn’t want the songs to reflect that. Instead, I wanted something that could lift me up and take me out of my own head,” she adds. “There’s a kind of happy melancholy woven through it. The songs explore both lighter moments, like falling in love, and heavier themes, such as postnatal anxiety and addiction.”
Twinkly Depression will be released on 24 October via Nettwerk, and is available to pre-order now.
