Intro

Client Liaison is an Australian synth-pop duo consisting of Monte Morgan and Harvey Miller, formed in Melbourne in 2009. Their sound identity is a meticulously crafted homage to the late 1980s and early 1990s, blending elements of New Wave, Italo Disco, and early House music.

They are pioneers of a self-described 'faux-fi' aesthetic, which utilizes high-fidelity production to recreate the specific sonic signatures of the corporate-pop era. Their career arc saw them rise from cult indie favorites with the 2012 single 'End of the Earth' to major festival mainstays, culminating in the critically acclaimed 'Diplomatic Immunity' (2016). Culturally, they occupy a unique space in the Australian scene, utilizing kitsch national iconography and corporate signifiers to create a sophisticated, multi-layered persona. Their influence web connects the pop-rock of John Farnham to the electronic precision of Pet Shop Boys. Critical consensus highlights their ability to balance irony with genuine musical craftsmanship, making them a staple of the modern Australian 'indie-dance' movement alongside peers like Touch Sensitive and Goldroom.
