"With Selfie, Older has created a classic. A collection of songs that spans years of observing, feeling, daring to be individual, whilst staying focused on the here and now."

OLDER The Band
OLDER have a passion for producing biting social commentary that takes a hard swipe at modern life. Jel Legg & Julie Legg produce music that is laden with antipathy for mainstream culture and is seasoned with an alternative point of view, wrapped up in a layer of respectability. They champion the creative thinker and the under dog yapping in the wind.
Being driven by a love for high-energy alternative rock music, their productions can be both simple and cinematic while their lyrics question everything and assume nothing. As a result of never being constrained by genre their albums are accessible to a diverse audience.
The band are ambiverts living away from people in rural New Zealand, happy in their own space and never more so than in their own Studio109. When they 'go out to play' they love to hang with interesting, creative types and engage deeply. Jel & Julie don't really fit in any scene, and they quite like it that way. Together, as OLDER, their 'inner child' is alive and well and they are proud to define their own space in the world of music. Read more ...

We scroll through endless studio photos full of vintage microphones, boutique compressors, racks of outboard gear, and expensive...
WRITER’S BLOCK
Every musician runs into writer’s block sooner or later. Sometimes it’s right at the beginning. You pick up the guitar, sit at the piano, or open your DAW, and… nothing. Other times you’ve got 90% of a song finished but can’t work out the next lyric, the bridge,...
