First Beige's debut album Doplar marks a triumphant moment for a band who have continually won over adoring audiences with their high-energy and euphoric live sets. While distilling this essence on their debut record, Doplar expands the world around First Beige even further, dipping into various flavours of sparkling jazzy house, cosmic funk and slinky, extended synth jams.

The album's focus single, 'The Wrong Way', encapsulates the band at their most dynamic and assured, diving headfirst into a colourful pool of Thundercat-esque basslines, lively percussion and euphoric chorus melodies.

Speaking on the record, First Beige share; ‘Doplar feels like quite an expansive record in terms of songwriting and also lyrically. We never intended to go into the recording process with a super strong concept for the album as a whole. We were guided by the process, trusting in our ways of working and our taste to keep the music cohesive. We knew it had to be a very dynamic record. What we’ve learned from playing shows is that energy is everything and we like to keep things fresh and moving all the time; not only for the audience but for our own morale as a band.'

Born and based in Meanjin/Brisbane, First Beige draws upon jazzy colours, textural synth layers and interwoven vocal harmonies backed by driving house rhythms. The infectious live act presents listeners with an ever-evolving set comprised of extended improvised sections and high energy grooves. The six-piece have continued to solidify themselves as one of the most eclectic, transportive and vibrant live acts to come out of Brisbane in recent years.
