Intro

Tia Gostelow creates music that feels like the exact moment the sun dips below the horizon. It is a lush, melodic blend of indie pop and dream-like folk, characterized by shimmering guitar lines and synths that wrap around the listener like a warm blanket. Her voice is the anchor: breathy, intimate, and possessing a natural gravity that makes even her most upbeat tracks feel deeply personal.

What sets her apart is the specific sense of place and time in her songwriting. There is an unmistakable Australian coastal energy to the production, balancing a laid-back surf-rock jangle with sophisticated, modern pop polish. Her evolution from the folk-leaning 'Thick Skin' to the synth-heavy 'Chrysalis' and 'Head Noise' shows an artist masterfully navigating the transition from regional teenager to confident pop auteur.

Start with 'Strangers' for a perfect introduction to her melodic sensibilities, then dive into the album 'Chrysalis' to hear her most cohesive atmospheric work. It is the ideal soundtrack for anyone who finds beauty in the transition between day and night.

Tia Gostelow is an Indigenous Australian singer-songwriter from Mackay, Queensland. Gostelow released her debut studio album, Thick Skin, in 2018 on Lovely Records. Further albums, Chrysalis and Head Noise followed.
