* Regrind vinyl is created by repurposing PVC material that would otherwise be discarded. This recycling process results in unique colour variations
**All 'Wing' vinyl purchases come with a Box Set Slipcase for housing the “Early 20s Trilogy” of albums 'Daisy', 'Me and You', and 'Wing'. They were originally written in the same session in April 2019, on Millowl/Phillip Island; recorded summer of 2019/20 at the Pieater studio BellBird; and released 2021, 2022, and 2024 respectively. They each tell their own story, but belong together as sister albums.

If you’ve followed our albums 'Daisy' and 'Me and You' from the past two years, then much of the story of 'Wing' has already been told.
We put Big Scary on pause mid-2017. In the break that followed, Tom made two albums with No Mono, and his third #1 Dads album. Jo started a second label imprint, Hotel Motel Records. This pause provided the breathing room we needed for an honest “re-union”, that helped define what Big Scary really is within the fabric of many creative projects for each of us.

This pause provided the breathing room we needed for an honest “re-union”, that helped define what Big Scary really is within the fabric of many creative projects for each of us.
And what it is is simply “the music made by Tom and Jo, together”. This simple idea blossomed into a more equal collaboration - sharing songwriting and lyrics more than before, and just the two of us recording the albums in our Collingwood studio BellBird - Tom showed Jo how to engineer using ProTools so that we could track each other’s parts. This became the foundation for a great creative outpouring that brought forth 'Daisy' (2021), 'Me and You' (2022), and now 'Wing' - the final limb that enfolds the trio.
These albums share common threads and themes, with a central focus on love and relationships. Here on 'Wing' a slight cynicism of ‘love’ has crept in at times - taking stock of expectations versus reality. This rule isn’t hard and fast though, and there is always, always space for hope. With a tenacious positivity we find ourselves in liminal states - probing the status quo, or even grasping for the divine. And sonically, space and ideas are lingered upon, allowed to stretch out.
The wing: a limb that enfolds. Something ‘to the side’ of the main, yet something crucial and supportive. Something that works in tandem to create something miraculous - flight! In all its meanings. We hope 'Wing' enfolds you and completes the story of 'Daisy' and 'Me and You'.
