About Cosy EP
In 2013, Headland produced sound/track, an album of guitar-based music created to accompany a collection of 1970s surf film fragments specific to the northern coast of New South Wales, capturing music poised between the open spaces of the Australian landscape and the stylised rhythm of single-fin surfing. Cosy EP, released in 2015, maintains that same essence across five tracks: Remain On Stop, Milk Rain, Bluebird, Prettiest Of Things and Don't Get Cosy, hinting at an upcoming full-length release while reflecting further on 1970s Australian surf culture. Reviewers have pointed listeners familiar with Giant Sand, early Calexico, Scenic and Sun Kil Moon toward Headland's laid-back, atmospheric instrumental sound.
