To understand the weight of Pursuit of Anything, you have to trace how a group of friends from Newcastle, Australia turned bedroom jams into a global indie-rock phenomenon.
Emerging in the mid-2010s with DIY releases like Vibes and Days, lead songwriter Campbell Burns established the band's signature "woozy pop" aesthetic—marrying intricate guitar interplay with bittersweet lyrics about growing up and self-reflection. Tracks like "Young" and "Telephones" exploded internationally, earning multi-platinum certifications and pushing the band past 3.5 billion global streams. Their sophomore LP Forever in Bloom (2020) and 2024's No Place Like Home proved they could evolve beyond bedroom pop into a powerhouse touring act.Written amid intense world tours and balancing home life, Pursuit of Anything turns inward. Produced by Burns and mixed by Beatriz Artola, the record explores the dynamic loop of chasing fulfillment, relationships, and the deep love of making music together.
Space in our new 29th Street location is limited, so head to our website to RSVP, pick out your best look-a-like outfit, and let us experience Pursuit of Anything together.
See you at The Record Garage!
