Husky

Overview

The story behind Melbourne folk foursome Husky's new song, 'I'm Not Coming Back', sounds pretty damn cute. It's something to do with looking up at the stars in the night sky, seeing the lights of airplanes gliding under them and the universal need to leave parts of ourselves behind. Swoon. This whimsically starry-eyed vision fits perfectly with the soaring sounds of the track itself. But contrary to the song's title, Husky are indeed coming back — with a show at The Hi-Fi on November 29.

The folk-fuelled whiz kids stole our hearts back in 2011 with their debut LP Forever So. Husky then became the first Aussie band to be signed to Seattle label and arbiters of cool Sub Pop, then toured pretty much non-stop around Australia, the USA and Europe for a couple of years. It's a good thing they stopped to take a break, because now we're privvy to a whole lot of new Husky — as well as promising to play much-loved tracks from Forever So, they'll be showing off their new album Ruckers Hill. Half a decade later and we're still swooning.
