Paper Mouse
A small town in rural Victoria was the accidental meeting place for Liz & Robbie when they crossed paths in a café in 2013 and soon were seeking out opportunities to play together. From their first rehearsal it was evident that a lengthy musical relationship was on the cards. Frencham and Melville discovered a shared love of jazz, pop, and folk, and instinctively blended their influences into a sound that is both unique yet familiar. The obvious chemistry between the pair is intensified by a willingness to never play any song the same way twice. This results in an extraordinary musical empathy, full of surprises, light and shade, and a child-like playfulness. Folk rhythms dance with ambient loops, Frencham’s deft double-bass and tender vocals are met by Melville’s beautiful harmonic dissonances on guitar, and every nuance is distinct.
