Australian group Retiree return to Rhythm Section International in 2018 with a new record House Or Home. The musical project of Matt Crowley, Tori Holleman, and Marco Vella; Retiree have steadily congealed their broad influences into a unique emulsion of strongly rhythmic and emotional music. From two releases, they've been described as "pared back 1980s comfort pop for all occasions", having "a whole lot of criss-crossing rhythm", containing "swirling synth flourishes, languid wistful vocals and strutting drum machines". The album's songs explore the theme of "house or home" and what that means in present day Australia for different people. They journey from an aboriginal tent embassy on the south coast of New South Wales, a retirement village, a one room flat in Ringwood and a sleepless 17-hour stop over in Malaysia. "Magic Eye" features Sui Zhen.

PWRLD 002EP

Newly-born Retiree recently kicked its way through the musical birth sac and into Sydney's live scene, with a spate of vitalizing performances. Tori Holleman, Ryan Powderly, Marco Vella, and Matt Crowley have consistently presented an evolving repertoire of artful tracks to thirsty ears. Dance record commissars, Suzanne Kraft (Running Back Records) and Andras Fox (Home Loan Records), have leapt with uncommon keenness at the offer to remix. It is likely that this EP will give listeners a refreshing emulsion of dancefloor cadence and tempered vibrancy -- something not seen all that often on debut releases.
