Small Sips

Signed to label: Rogue Records

Small Sips is a roughly Melbourne based trio, and a new studio venture for former Paradise Motel members Matthew Aulich and Matthew Bailey, working together again and joined this time by Karl Smith of Sodastream.

‘The Morning Ripples' is the group's debut recording, a full-length album filled with wonderful songwriting, breathtaking arrangements, stark musical beauty and deep emotional complexity. It is especially recommended for fans of disparate mood-setters such as Bonnie "Prince" Billy, Red House Painters and Tindersticks.

Playing alongside Small Sips on ‘The Morning Ripples' are:

  • Laura MacFarlane and Amy Clarke of Ninetynine on vibes and sax
  • Mike Noga of The Drones (and his own solo fame) on drums
  • Pete Cohen of Sodastream on saw
  • Nicole Hurtubise of Trixie's Undersea Adventure on accordion
  • Campbell Shaw on violin(s).
