RAYMONDOUU
announces new single
ULTIMATE FRISBEE
— out now

Upcoming songwriter Raymondouu has today announced his brand new single Ultimate Frisbee, produced by WA-based artist Charles Heinrich. Sprawling and dark, yet vibrant and tender, Ultimate Frisbee is perched on the edge of a relationship that’s just about to end. The exciting new voice in Australian songwriting has also announced a run of shows supporting triple j faves Telenova in Perth on May 12, 13 and 14.
Ultimate Frisbee feels evocative of Omar Apollo, or the washy devastation of Billie Eilish’s Guitar Songs — it’s a little more introverted than listeners will be used to from Raymondouu, but the vulnerability on show here is inviting and deeply organic. Acoustic guitar and gentle, delicate synths provide a warm, perfect nest for Raymondouu’s soft vocal. All elements of this track have been arranged so intricately they feel melted together; the result is a hazy glow of a track.

Speaking on the inspiration behind Ultimate Frisbee, Raymondouu says, “The inspiration for this song came from a relationship that wasn’t going anywhere, and the realisation that I was staying in the relationship just so I didn’t have to end it. I really resonated with the idea of singing about ultimate frisbee, my favourite sport. It’s a game of cyclical and repetitive defence and offence — sort of like how I felt in the relationship.”
After being named a finalist in triple j’s prestigious Unearthed High competition in 2020 with his gorgeous track taxi driver, Raymondouu has been completely dedicated to his craft. He is now studying at the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts (WAAPA), one of Australia’s best performing arts schools.
Last year, Raymondouu released the stand-alone single Outer Space, an effortlessly cool lo-fi track inspired by an irresistible crush. As for what fans can expect from Raymondouu for the rest of 2023, he’s got a lot up his sleeve: “There will be more songs this year, and we’ve finally started playing gigs around Perth — we’re supporting Telenova on May 12, 13 and 14 for the WA leg of their tour!”
