FRESH FRETS

LITTLE QUIRKS

THEY ARE Three inhumanly talented folk-pop firestarters from the NSW Central Coast, dealing in soul-warming indie-pop song structures made all the more beautiful with mandolin riffs, off-kilter percussion and three-part harmonies that constantly threaten to steal the show. All three members share the mic equally, with sisters Abbey and Mia Toole behind the axe and kit, respectively, and cousin Jaymi on mandolin duties.

THEY SOUND LIKE The perfect soundtrack for summer mornings spent road-tripping through the mountains en route to this ‘hidden gem’ beach your sister’s girlfriend swears by – it’s no shock at all Little Quirks are a coastal crew.

YOU’LL DIG THEM IF YOU Boy & Bear, All My Exes Live In Texas, and the first few Mumford & Sons records. There was a little chunk of time towards the end of the ‘00s where Top 40 pop types went through a big neo-folk phase – if you found yourself letting your inner yee-haw shine back then, Little Quirks will pull you right back into the thick of it.
