Music Feeds\u2019 Love Letter To A Record<\/a> series asks artists to reflect on their relationship with the music they love and share stories about how it has influenced their lives. Here, Loki Liddle – a Jabirr Jabirr man who fronts Gold Coast rock band Selve – has written a deeply personal ode to <\/em>My Boy, the third studio album by beloved New Zealand singer and songwriter Marlon Williams.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The letter arrives on release day for Selve’s debut album, <\/em>Breaking Into Heaven. The album was recorded at the iconic Abbey Road Studios in London – making Liddle and co. the first Indigenous artists to record a full album there. In a statement, Liddle described the process of making the album as “a big, profound, emotional journey that has taken myself and the band to places and into spaces we never imagined we\u2019d get to tread”. I am really really proud of the album we\u2019ve created, the music, the stories, the messages, the whole wild dream of it,” he said. “We poured all of ourselves into every song and I hope that people listening can find something they connect with among the embers.”<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Breaking Into Heaven can be streamed below, with Liddle’s letter following after that and the band’s upcoming tour dates – most of which are free to attend – listed at the bottom.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
