Aussie indie rock icons Moler return with Roky a blistering new single lifted from their just released album 69, — the band’s second full-length release since their ARIA-nominated 1997 debut Golden Duck.
Built from a guitar riff by JJ McCann inspired by Roky Erickson, Roky fuses fuzzy alternative textures with glam-leaning post-punk energy, exploring unrequited love and online connection in the digital age. The track was recorded at Soundpark Studios with Andre ‘Idge’ Hehir, mixed by Helen Cattanach and Miguel Alonso, and mastered by Lindsay Gravina (Magic Dirt, The Birthday Party).
Across 69, each song began life with a different band member before being fully realised together — from the AI-themed title track interrogating technology and intimacy, to dream-born duet I Just Need, the lust-charged rocker Crimson,sun-soaked singalong Springtime, and dystopian cuts Proper Remote and Sonic Waiver. The result is a raw, hook-packed album that’s nostalgic, urgent and unmistakably Moler.
