2) Wilt + Oceans - Wilt

 

 

 
Our collaborative EP with Melbourne's "Oceans" would have been a challenge at any time due to the massive time-zone difference but with the added complications caused by the Covid pandemic and studio slots being cancelled by lockdowns, it's especially exciting to finally have this EP finished and released. Huge thanks to everyone involved for their patience and input, we love and appreciate you all
