QUENCH (a lullaby) is out now ☁️

"Quench is about being trapped in a soft-focus ‘in-between’ — cycles of addiction or attachment that loop back on themselves like a recurring dream. It's tender and suffocating, like cotton candy brain fog.”

Chatting on ABC radio about the intricacies of writing our first bilingual song:

"The music has to follow [the tones of the Mandarin words] or the word will have no meaning or a completely different meaning. So in a way, the words in Mandarin helped define the melody."

How Mandarin language shaped Yulan and Blaise's latest song - ABC listen

The latest release by duo Yulan and Blaise is a bilingual song that's creation was partly driven by the tone of Mandarin words used in the song.
