Alternative electronic duo Sumner (Chloe Wilson & Jack McLaine) hail from the native woodlands of lutruwita / Tasmania. Sumner explore themes of power, intimacy and isolation with earnest and unique perspectives from their cold climate environment. An intense period of hibernation and creative growth has dawned their stunning new single 'Stranded', co-written and produced by Nick Littlemore and Peter Mayes (PNAU, Empire of the Sun). ‘Stranded’’ is the first of a string of singles co-written and produced by PNAU, as Sumner become the newest signing to Lab78, the label started by Littlemore and Mayes, in partnership with Australian indie label etcetc.


“I wrote the beat for Stranded in a 30 min rush of inspiration,” explains Jack. “Chasing the bittersweet feeling in between melancholy and hope. The first time we played it in the live set we were supporting PNAU at their show in Forth, Tasmania. They invited us to the studio in Sydney with them, and within a day we had reworked it into the song ‘Stranded’ as it exists today.”

Chloe adds, “Lyrically, Stranded is a letter to a former self - acknowledging that without that previous person you once were, you would never have arrived at your current form. It’s easy to shy away from a former version of yourself that you’re not so proud of, but it’s crucial to acknowledge that existence and what it taught and prepared you for. Accept what was and carry yourself forward. See the beauty in all versions of yourself instead of abandoning the ones that no longer serve you.

”

The music video was filmed amongst the stunning landscapes of the wild West Coast and Central Highlands of lutruwita / Tasmania on a handheld Super-8 camera. The camera was shipped by Littlemore to Sumner after extensive discussions around filmmaking. The film, shot by both Wilson and McLaine was sent to Littlemore’s brother James in London who developed, cut, animated and graded the video while in lockdown. The result is a power piece of cinematography.
