Bio
Pop-folk sentiments weave through singular vocal melodies, stories found of life, love and loss. Swirling guitars and sonic tones from a pedal steel help tell the story. Recent recordings began in October 2019, recording at Sauna Studios in Collingwood. Engineer and producer Robert Muinos (Julia Jacklin, Nat Vazer) created a small studio space above a vintage guitar shop to house the band. It was here where the group and Muinos worked to craft new songs with a strong contemporary soundscape. The band first formed in 2016 by Melbourne singer -songwriter Bradley Ellis, leaving his role as a youth worker in inner city Melbourne to pursue his love for songwriting.
In 2016, Ellis began working with engineer Callum Barter (Courtney Barnett, Big Scary) on a number of songs at Newmarket Studios.
Current releases include, Bluestone Lane EP (2017) , The Hunter Express Self-titled Album(2018) , Should Have Come On Sunday Album (2019) and 2020 Single, There Was Love.
Their 2019 album release, Should Have Come On Sunday, moved the band from strength to strength, growing audiences, streams and playing festivals such as 2020 St Kilda Festival.
Singles, “Bad Line” and "Weekdays and Weekends" received plays across community radio, RAGE, and triple J.
The album was placed in RRR’s weekly edition of ‘Soundscape’ and feature record on AIR (Australian Independent Record).
Review
it's so wonderfully languid and intimate. it feels like the quieter track on a big scary album or something like that.

Review
Everything looks better in slow-mo so it stands to reason that everything will sound better at that speed too. This Hunter Express track confirms it with the mood staying low down and strands of emotion spooling delicately off the vocal.

Yep! This fits right like your favourite leather jacket; worn and familiar.
