Biography
Stubai is a solo indie rock project recorded at home in Sydney-Eora, Australia, by Matt T.
If Ovlov, Nick Drake, Pavement, The Smiths, The Beatles and early Tame Impala formed a band, it might sound like "We Were Here", Stubai's debut album. Released on October 18, 2024, it takes the listener on an eclectic yet cohesive trip through a range of sonic and emotional textures.

Guitars and heartfelt vocals are the heart of Stubai's sound, with colour provided by erhu, mellotron, vibraphone, strings, clarinet, harp, celesta, the odd sample and even some field-recorded birdsong.
Another Way: Jangly pop with layers of vocal harmonies, Taoist lyrics, and an erhu in the outro.
Broken Teeth: Angular postpunk with a trippy mellotron and a lovelorn protagonist.
Voyager: Epic space rock. What happens when aliens find the Golden Records on NASA's probes?
Hold Fast: Sparse acoustic folk offering hope for dark times.
Little Laika: A playful garage-punk love song for a furry friend.
Where the Fishes Sleep: Lush bedroom pop, with swelling strings and wistful clarinet.
Don't Go Away: An acoustic grunge plea gives way to shimmering harp and celesta.
Do You Miss Me: Tension in the verse, release in the chorus, melancholy in the outro.
The Golden Hour: A chilled-out dreamgaze meditation on the divinity of nature.
(wombeyan): Field-recording inspired by John Cage's 4.33.
