Hydroplane - A Place In My Memory Is All I Have To Claim

Recorded in 2024 across Melbourne and Ballarat, the album finds Andrew Withycombe, Kerrie Bolton, and Bart Cummings reconnecting with the intimate, gently textured sound that first captivated fans around the turn of the century. Across nine beautifully composed tracks — from the evocative opener “Houdini’s Plane” to the wistful closer “I’ve Got a Buzz” — the trio weave soft guitars, drifting synths, delicate drum machine loops, and Bolton’s clear, emotive vocals into an almost weightless musical tapestry. Themes of memory, history, travel, and emotional ambiguity permeate the record, creating a listening experience that’s both introspective and transportive.
