Mt Augustus was designed as a band which could be fluid, whose sound could be bent and re-moulded time and time again over the years.
Having played in various configurations of musicians and instruments since forming in 2006, Mt Augustus have at times taken the form of rustic alt.country band, fuzzy Elephant 6-esque pop, dynamic garage slash post-rock and, most recently, some sort of combination of all of the previous sounds that could be described as mixing the minimalist pop of Low with the rambling catharsis of The Drones. Along the way they’ve released the well received EPs Monolith and The Warmest Winter, while in recent times Mt Augustus have been honoured to play with such artists as Mt Eerie (USA), Holly Throsby and The John Steel Singers, as well as appearing in 4zzzFM’s 2008 Hot 100 poll.
