Alternative folk

kisses has been quietly building a world. Softly-sung memories and dreams float through a landscape of meandering guitars, grungy violin, and layered vocal harmonies, grounded in a spirited rhythm section with a deep groove at its core. 

Much-loved members of the Australian alternative underground, the Naarm/Melbourne-based five-piece released their second album, You Are in My Dreams, in February on Bedroom Suck Records. This follow-up to 2024’s self-recorded debut kisses sees a natural evolution of their signature brand of whimsical lo-fi folk. 

“You Are In My Dreams finds these core components recombined in subtly more grown-up fashion, with added newer ingredients… the ten gathered pieces cast broader, deeper and occasionally darker spells.” - Freq (UK) 

kisses’ music is an invitation to revel in all of life’s beauty and brokenness, to look up and feel together the steady rhythms of love, of loss, and love again. 

In kisses’ captivating live show, songs take on new life in every room and are never the same twice. The band has shared stages with an astounding community of friends; Mess Esque, Jordan Ireland, Mckisko, Hannah McKittrick, Blue Communications, Who Cares?, Tongue Dissolver, Hinano Fujisaki, Gut Health, Cold Hands Warm Heart, Daily Toll and more. Fresh from touring Australia and Japan this summer, kisses loves you and can’t wait to see you soon.
