Cupid’s Plan

Dune Castle presents a new EP from Melbourne instrumental electronica outfit Evening News. Expanding on the house and soul foundations of their debut, New World, Cupid’s Plan ventures into stranger electronic territory, blending jungle and IDM with the energy of a live band.

Recorded together over two days at Dune Castle Studio in Melbourne, the EP captures the band’s shared performance at its core. Keyboardists Winton Findlay and Christy Wositzky-Jones later layered in additional production from a home studio, building on that live foundation.

Across the record, organic rhythm meets an increasingly synthetic sound. The title track layers synthesizers over driving drums and bass, while the sprawling “Pigeon Shuffle” reveals the band’s more exploratory side with shifting sections, progressive structures and a warped sense of nostalgia.
