Born in the Doghouse true to the world

NEIS is a multi-generational collision between Sydney underground experimentalist Jack Wotton (Big White, Jacky & The Wunderz) and his luminescent niece, Stella Red. Written in domestic isolation in an Ashfield shoebox apartment—or in their words, the Doghouse—on a diet of vintage drum machines and over-collected hardware, their debut album is a masterclass in "cooked" Sydney electronics where the machinery is pushed until it starts to buckle.

Eschewing both the clinical polish of modern pop and the laid-back tropes of dub, Doghouse is defined by a relentless, nervous energy. Wotton builds a rhythmic architecture that is skeletal and driving, anchored by a motorik pulse that feels both ancient and futuristic. It’s a sound of heavy hiss, saturated synths, and wiry guitars that slice through the static. Stella Red provides the crystalline, detached counterweight, cutting through Wotton's dense textures with a clarity that recalls the best of 90s synth and modern experimental Lo-Fi. Together, they have crafted an album that feels like a late-night drive through a neon-lit and decaying Sydney—equal parts driving energy and atmospheric haze.

All music written and performed by Jacky Wotton and Stella Red except Clay Pidgeons written by Blaze Foley. Recorded, mixed by, mastered by Cody Munro Moore and Mikey Young.
