Drawing on the power of memories, the Melbourne based trio have produced their finest work so far.

After forming Obscura Hail in Wollongong, Sean Conran made the move to Melbourne in 2016. A couple of albums later, they’ve now got a new EP titled Siren that’s set to win them a much larger following.

Drawing on a huge bank of saved loops and musical ideas, he and the band have crafted a collection of new songs that draw on some pretty unique childhood memories. Richard Kingsmill speaks here to Conran about how he writes, how Sufjan Stevens through to They Might Be Giants have influenced him, and how we all need to bounce back from apocalyptic times.
