THE CARTRIDGE FAMILY

Sarah Carroll, sister Suzannah Espie, wayward son Rusty Berther, second cousin Nick Del Rey and Grandpa Greg Field are The Cartridge Family, named for their breezy, sunshine-filled hillbilly songs of death and despair, and for their strong affiliation to public radio, firearms and printing. 

While giving a sincere musical nod to early country groups like the Carter Family and the Delmore Brothers, the Cartridge Family also have a stack of foot stomping, fun original songs such as Hipster Bogan, Beerijuana, Dickheads with Guns and Grandpa Loved The Pixies

Their three-part harmonies and two-part jokes add up to one hell of a good time!

Coda Chroma's third studio album Dreamself, freshly released on 31 March 2023, celebrates the liminal space between awake and asleep, where stories unfold through abstraction and try to make sense of experiences and situations. Dreamself plays with shadows and light in a landscape where fragile introspection is at home alongside upbeat jangle-pop, and synthetic sounds mess around with acoustic instrumentation. Matched with the immaculate work of producer Damien Charles, the album features a string ensemble, swirling layers of synthesisers, a driving rhythm section and ethereal backing vocals by Natalie Lewis. Dreamself has landed album of the week on PBS, 2SER, and Australian Independent Record Labels Association (AIR), with tracks added to Double J rotation and landing in the AMRAP charts.
