Movement

Movement are a trio from Sydney, Australia, building steam from a grain of salt with their seductive nocturnal music. Composed in a bedroom somewhere in the suburbs at night. Lucid, spacious and engagingly rhythmic body music. Jesse and Sean have been friends forever, playing music together from a young age, dabbling and jamming, searching for a sound. The two of them met vocalist Lewis more recently, and the missing piece of their puzzle fell into place.

Impassioned by music, particularly classic soul and the trailblazing r’n‘b of the late 90’s and early 2000’s, Movement came into being the night the three of them got together and wrote 'Feel Real', their first single. After some time refining their sound and feeling their way through their collective strengths, it became obvious that this time it was something special, and thus Movement was born. "Feel Real" struck upon something for which they’d been searching, setting a working blueprint for the band and their shadowy, tender take on dance music one that could only be born after dark. Quickly following up with their second single, 'Us', it was named Best New Track by Pitchfork.

To date, Movement are fast making a name for themselves globally, despite only having less than twenty live shows under their belt. They’ve had over 500k Soundcloud plays on ‘Us’, nods from Boiler Room, Pitchfork and XLR8R, and radio support from Rinse FM, NTS Radio, Radio 1, Making Time Radio (NPR), KCRW, KEXP, and Live 105, plus sold-out single launch shows in their hometown of Sydney.
