The Queenscliff Airbnb we ended up in was basically frozen in 1968. Even more engrossing is the song’s origin story, which, as the band tells it, is an adventure in and of itself: Now, the band’s forthcoming EP finds them reveling in their own local pastures, having been recorded “across a collection of Adelaide studios” over the past year.Ī smoldering love song of sorts, “Penny” is easy to fall for – WANDERERS shine as they tribute the kind of figure who can enthrall you, flood you with feelings, and break your heart all at once.

Consisting primarily of Dusty Lee (Lead Vocals, Guitar) and Matt Birkin (Drums, Backup Vocals), the band have released a smattering of singles and EPs over the past six years, and were all set to fly to California and record their debut album in early 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic put a hard pause on all travel plans. Dreamy and funky, wistful and warm, WANDERERS’ seamless blend of soul-inflected soft rock has made them easy to love ever since their 2016 debut.
