THESE IDLE HANDS is an elusive kind of sonic event:  best described as hauntingly retrospective and emotive Alt folk & Americana . The band is never afraid to explore the darker aspects of the human condition and their music, at times conveys an intensely personal lyrical perspective. 

Formed in  2020, the band has graced the stages of numerous local haunts, halls &  festivals. They have also recorded & released two albums; both receiving high praise within Australia & abroad and are on track to see their third, self titled album released in early 2025. 

BEAT MAG “These Idle Hands will pull you in & hold you like a warm familiar embrace”. Heart wrenchingly beautiful, fluid and luminous, flawlessly recorded”

BLANK MAG described the music as”much like fine wine, to be imbibed and savoured within the shadowy twilight of self-reflection and contemplation, rewarding aplenty those seeking an emotionally resonant listening experience.”

SILVER SIRCUS is an ever-evolving collective led by vocalist/lyricist Lucinda Shaw and drummer/composer James Lees. Since 2008, they have built a highly eclectic sound world incorporating art rock, electronica, post-rock, prog and chamber folk elements. In varying formats, the band has delivered acclaimed performances for arts/music festivals all over Australia and has released several singles/EPs and two albums. They have recently been performing live as a full 7-piece ensemble, contributed an exclusive track to the House Keys 3 compilation (4000 Records) and are working on two new recording/composing projects.
