I perform a minimalist folk-rock as Cornflake Sunset.

My debut album, Double Portrait, was released in 2024.

Cornflake Sunset songs are a sort of rusty, literary folk—absurd and intertextual.

On Double Portrait, I’m joined by award-winning double bassist, Helen Svoboda, renowned percussionist Maria Moles and avant-jazz saxophonist Thomas Coleman Bell.

Double Portrait was recorded and mixed at Sydney Road Studios by Pat Telfer and mastered by John Lee.

I’ve played all over Melbourne for more than a decade with artists like Ryan Downey, Nicola Watson and Grand Salvo (sometimes as New Archer, sometimes as Cornflake Sunset).

The songs form out of my poems, and in that sense the lyrics sit in the foreground—not unlike artists such as David Berman or Leonard Cohen. I often play on an old palour guitar. There’s space in the songs—minimal instrumentation inspired by people like Bill Callahan or Julie Doiron or Aldous Harding.
