The debut release from Rat Vs Possum is out now through Sensory Projects.

Rat Vs Possum have gone from front-room jamming to a bursting field of rollicking electrical energy within a very short period of time. The foursome of Daphne Shum, Kieran O’Shea, Matt Kulesza, Andrew Noble and (recent addition) Adrian Tregonning began experimenting together back in 2008. Early jams, described by friends of Rat Vs Possum as “terrible”, eventually led to the formation of songs, and these songs evolved into invigorating the psychedelic and faux-tribal pop tunes which have become the basis for their (infamously awesome) live set. These tracks are now unfathomable beasts fuelled by Op-shop Casio keyboards, a five piece drum ensemble, guitars, lyrical workouts, and bounding rhythms which veer towards dance-floor on occasion. The vibrancy of Rat Vs Possum transcends their being ‘just another pop group’. They celebrate music, life, and a good time.

‘Daughter of Sunshine’ is a spectacle of colour and vibes, better described as songs filled with multi-coloured Ecstatical indulgences, chiming guitars, and a bandwidth of beats and pounding rhythms.
