Edit history

Migrations are a four piece synth-pop band from Melbourne. Influenced by artists such as David Bowie, Caribou and Islands, Migrations create a mix of pop music with aspects of electronica. In early 2013, they recorded their first single ‘Shade’ with producer Malcolm Besley (Gold Fields, Snakadaktal, City Calm Down) in an opulent, porcelain dog adorned mansion in Toorak. The single, along with B-side ‘So What’ are now available to download on Triple J Unearthed.

The Migrations formed in 2011. The 6 piece started as a solo project for front man Matt Mildsparrow Davidson, and through well forged friendships have taken flight together as a flock since. Made up of two songwriters, four vocalists and a bass, guitar, keys, synth and drums backline, The Migrations sound is a luscious amalgamation of all things that good music should be about. Hailing from Melbourne, the band takes inspiration from its neighbourhood and surrounds, its stories illustrating a reflection of inner city living, of the 9-5 working week, of the sanctuary of the weekend. Their sound has been said to be many genres, and they certainly are not shy about displaying their musical inspiration ranging from Alt Folk Country, Garage Pop, Blues and a good dash of Rock. Their newfound sound introduces dreamy Underground Garage Pop soundscapes to be featured on upcoming album, Superbia. Honest music from honest folk, that’s what keeps The Migrations engaged with their audiences,
