A gorgeous, pared-back and morose new release, ‘Misplaced’ follows on from a notable 2017 that saw Riley play his first international shows in London, and pick up a WAM ‘Song of the Year’ Award in Australia and had one of his songs feature in the US hit show ‘Shadowhunters.’ Quite a tipping point for the quietly masterful young Australian artist already making notable waves. Listen here With his debut ‘Outside The Lines’ EP (released early 2016) amassing over 6 Million streams on Spotify, Riley built a substantial amount of anticipation for his new release – ‘Misplaced’. A fragile, layered and complex melody balanced by Riley’s raw style, keeps the bar set at very high for an artist that should be on a lot of different radars this year.
