About the Artist
If you haven’t already caught Meanjin/Brisbane outfit blue diner., it’s time to wake up. What started as a happy accident between high school mates has quickly evolved into one of the city’s most compelling musical projects.
blue diner., comprising Rosa Chen (vocals/bass), Jarren Abraham (vocals/guitar), Jack Lestone (guitar), and Tim Johnson (drums), deal in a lush, highly addictive brand of "dreamgaze." By weaving the stunning dual-vocal textures of Chen and Abraham through a massive wall of fuzzy, jangly guitars, the four-piece captures a distinct brand of bittersweet nostalgia. It sits right in that glorious sweet spot between 90s shoegaze pioneers like Slowdive and the modern indie-rock grit of Slow Pulp. They are masters of the melancholic groove, and they’re rapidly cementing themselves as absolute must-watch fixtures in the local scene.
