Grazer is an Australian duo consisting of Matt and Mollie, formed in Melbourne in 2020. Their sound identity is a sophisticated synthesis of 80s jangle pop, 90s shoegaze, and contemporary dream pop.
They are characterized by a 'visual' approach to songwriting, influenced by their multidisciplinary backgrounds in poetry and photography. This results in music that prioritizes atmosphere and 'vibe' without sacrificing melodic structure. Their career arc has been marked by a prolific output of singles and EPs, culminating in full-length projects like 'Melancholics Anonymous' and 'I Always Follow' which refined their hazy, reverb-soaked aesthetic. Culturally, they occupy a space within the global 'bedroom shoegaze' revival, though their production values lean toward a more polished, hi-fi interpretation of the genre. Critical consensus highlights their ability to evoke nostalgia without falling into pastiche, often praising the dual-vocal dynamic as their defining feature. They are frequently linked to the lineage of bands like Slowdive and The Sundays, but with a distinctly modern, Australian indie sensibility.
