Don’t look now, but “a beautiful blossom of bromance” has formed between two of Australia’s fastest rising stars; Danny Harley aka The Kite String Tangle and Dustin Tebbutt and after hearing the first musical fruit of said bromance, Illuminate it’s clear that these guys were meant to be together.

The bro’s themselves recently broke down how the collaboration came to be:



 

TKST - “Dustin and I decided to work on a track together because for quite some time we’d had a mutual respect for each others music and had been to each others shows. It was a really natural process and that’s been one of the most enjoyable things about this project; nothing felt forced and everything just came together. Dustin came to my little studio set up in Brisbane while he was on tour then I flew down to Sydney to finalize and mix the track in his studio space”.

DT - “I originally wanted to work with Danny after hearing a radio interview he did. It was something in the tone of the conversation, and particularly the way he spoke about his approach to music. We went into the collab with no expectations at all. He had this great bed of synths and ambience sussed out, and from there; the vocal parts just seemed to flow. Danny was so easy to work with, and I felt like we naturally met halfway creatively throughout the process.”

We’re extra excited about the whole thing around these parts because we’re the lucky buggers who get to present Danny & Dustin’s co-headline east coast tour in late June and we’ll be the ones releasing the limited edition 10 vinyl EP of Illuminate as part of our Cool Accidents Singles Club.
