Before the dust settles is the debut release from Sydney electronic trio; Gift Exchange. The group is a witch-house/drag/goth outfit comprised of Vocalist Madison Scott, Guitarist Jaime Krausmann and Producer Eduardo Bianchino. This Seven song-EP showcases textural songwriting that weaves production, vocals and guitar together in a conceptive genre, inducing a unique and symphonic sound ranging from punk to operatic.

Sydney witch house'ers debut LP, they sound like a crossover between (post-Kendra) White Ring and Alice Glass but with a huge dose of guitar riffs and reverb. Freaking solid album, I admit I didn't spend as much time with it as I probably should. Australian WH scene is dope as hell right now.

Super clean production. The vocal hook in Ascension is a serious earworm
