‘Unravelling more layers of dœgægé’s eclectic and immersive DIY artistry between his multidisciplinary roles as a singer-songwriter, producer, visual artist, and video animator, ‘THUNDER PERFUME’ finds the artists gentle, soft-spoken vocal textures set against atmospheric layers of 90’s style reverb-drenched riffs, peppy percussion, and intricate chords.’
– Sniffers

‘Take his debut single, ‘A HEADACHE & A BLACK EYE’, for example: the song opens with a riff reminiscent of the Dunedin sound, before it veers into something akin to Matty Healy performing a scuzzy pop-punk number. The whole thing is unruly, peculiar, but always intriguing.’
– Rolling Stone Australia

‘…listening to the first two singles the 21-year-old wunderkind has teased from the project, one is struck by the pristine clarity and sureness of his artistic vision.’
– Mixdown Magazine

‘[on ‘A HEADACHE & A BLACK EYE’] ‘It’s taking me back to the early The 1975 days for sure. I love it and can’t wait to hear more from you. And what DRH said – this might literally be your new fav obsession. You gotta check it out!’
– Claire Mooney | triple j

Today, Aotearoa/New Zealand born, Naarm/Melbourne-based artist dœgægé (pronounced doh-gah-gay) shares his highly anticipated debut EP GOBLIN BLISS ETERNAL RELIEF, out now via Believe Australia & New Zealand. Written and produced by Caleb Doe (aka dœgægé) over the past two years, the EP explores the symbiotic duality of madness and ecstasy. dœgægé’s pop-punk sound is unapologetically angsty, in a  ‘… unruly, peculiar, but always intriguing’ [Rolling Stone AU] way. Over the past few months dœgægé has shared previous singles ‘A HEADACHE & A BLACKEYE’,  ‘A DYING GNOME’ and most recently ‘THUNDER PERFUME’ – which have been supported by the likes of triple j, Sniffers, 10 Magazine, Vice AU and Rolling Stone AU.

Speaking further on the creation of his debut EP,  dœgægé shares; ‘This project has been the most challenging, teaching, frustrating, beautiful experience I have ever had. This was a 2 year process to finish, I grew in so many ways as it was happening. Nothing was forced, every song had to feel like it needed to be made. It tortures feelings of madness & ecstasy and the way they can’t exist without each other. Loss & love, ignorance & bliss. I wrote and recorded everything myself, I made all the artwork and visuals myself. It showed me how much I love to make music, I know for certain this is just what I do.’ – dœgægé, the rockstar

Speaking on the meaning behind the new single, ‘BINGO WITH THOSE DEAD GUYS’, dœgægé explains; ‘Bingo was written last and added to the EP specifically as a closer. It’s written about not giving a single fuck and the idea that ignorance is bliss. Being self aware but not sorry, and trusting in the universe when you get dealt bad hand. I think the other songs are somewhat inspired by artists I listen to, but this song was pretty sincerely my own.’

Today, dœgægé also launches his first line of merch items, in collaboration with local Melbourne designer Feaath. Melbourne-based label Feaath is the creation of Jasmine Featherston, a visionary artist. As Feaath continues to develop as a label, Jasmine’s dedication to the meticulous process of hand-made design remains at its core, acting as a source of immense pride as she crafts each one-off garment with much love and care.

Since moving to Melbourne in 2020, dœgægé has immersed himself around creative and likeminded people, building a community with collective 45BASTARD and creating a home. dœgægé builds a world around his listeners, filled with audio and visual motifs reflecting his personal experiences and musical influences. A fan of The Smashing Pumpkins, The 1975 and Elliot Smith – dœgægé’s music is an amalgamation of the artists he grew up with.
