Rising Central Coast band Little Quirks have released their much-anticipated self-titled debut album out today via ABC Music.

Showcasing their explosive live energy; prepare to dance, smile and get misty about life’s bittersweet moments in equal measures while listening to this record. Their sound is reminiscent of mid-00’s bands like First Aid Kit, Of Monsters and Men, Mumford & Sons with soaring choruses that are perfect for mass sing-a-longs.

Comprising sisters Abbey (vocals/guitar) and Mia Toole (drums/BVs) alongside their cousin Jaymi (vocals/mandolin), Little Quirks also share some deeply personal lived experiences on this album.

“As well as the classic, Little Quirks escapism, this record contains a lot of relatable stories: love songs, breakup stories and songs about new experiences from more recent times,” Abbey details. “The most fun part about writing songs in your twenties is that things change drastically from year to year; you just have so much thrown at you, so there’s always plenty to write about. From a couple of years ago – when we started writing this album – to now, I’m certainly not the same.”

The album was mostly recorded in The Garden – a small studio their father Adam built in their backyard – as well as The Grove Studios, owned by Australian record producer Scott Horscroft (Ocean Alley, DMA’s, Skeggs, Dune Rats, Vera Blue, Birds of Tokyo).

Early ‘Little Quirks’ songwriting sessions produced the Abbey-penned focus track Red Shoes (“that was my love-song era”). Abbey drew sonic inspiration for this one from Creep by Radiohead, a song she adores: “I wanted Red Shoes to have the oomph of Creep, but still have these very sweet lyrics. It’s probably the most classic love song that I’ve ever written, but it’s got a quirky twist – the concept of these missing red shoes.” Mia adds: “It’s got quite a ‘50s feel to it.”

Today they share the accompanying video for ‘Red Shoes’, filmed in a school hall and shot and edited by Abbey & Mia’s dad Adam.

On the clip, “We had the idea of a ‘post show’ look on a dark stage that we could rock out and give glimpses into our live show. It is a very lyric driven video that conveys a lot of raw emotion which really captures the essence of ‘Red Shoes’. There is a glow effect across the whole video which gave it a dreamy, different look to our usual videos. We had so much fun capturing Red shoes and tapping into the edgier/rock element of Little Quirks.”

Little Quirks album includes previous releases ‘Storm Like Me’, ‘Reverie’, ‘The Ones That Dance’, ‘Caught in June’ which have seen support from triple j Home & Hosed, triple j Unearthed, Rebel FM, Frankie Mag, Rolling Stone Best New Music, AU Review, The Music, plus added to ‘RADAR – Global’ playlist on Spotify as an Australian “artist to watch”.

Already well-renowned the world over for their lively shows, Little Quirks have been touring relentlessly, including performances at The Great Escape (Brighton, UK), SXSW (Austin, Texas) and Bluesfest 2024 amongst their career highlights to date. This October they will be heading out on a massive 14-date national tour to celebrate the release of their debut album.

This peak gig-fitness clearly translated in the studio, with Little Quirks documenting the band’s impressive growth. Vocalist Abbey comments, “the goal was to transport listeners to “a really polished show” – safe to say mission accomplished.

Spirited and uplifting yet also incredibly heartfelt and real, Little Quirks’ debut self-titled LP captures the essence of life itself. Press pause on your woes and surrender to the healing, perspective-shifting power of Little Quirks.
