Futures Unsure was released mid last year to critical acclaim and extensive community radio play, a cool salve to the dark times of the past year. Not one to rest on her laurels the release was soon followed by the Futures Unsure Remix EP which saw Poppongene invite friends and collaborators to put their own spin and rejig on the EP, resulting in a swirling collection of eclectic versions of the tracks from the EP.

To celebrate the two EPs release Poppongene and band are taking the stage at Some Velvet Morning on April 9. With support from Blisstake and with Poppongene DJs playing into the wee hours it's sure to be an unmissable night. You can buy tickets HERE.

Poppongene's EP, Futures Unsure, marks a distinct step forward in the artistic development of Poppongene, the alias of Melbourne multidisciplinary artist Sophie Treloar. The eight track EP was created in collaboration with producer and multi-instrumentalist Tim Harvey (Jade Imagine, Gena Rose Bruce, Lisa Mitchell, Emma Louise).  With Futures Unsure, Poppongene closes a difficult but rewarding chapter in her personal life whilst discovering a newer, queerer self.  As a heartfelt document from this time, the listener is beckoned to walk alongside her on her blooming musical journey. Futures Unsure is out now on all streaming services, and can be purchased on limited edition cassette.

Originally from Byron Bay, Treloar is now based in Melbourne, and plays as Poppongene both solo and with a five-piece band, with Lee Hannah, Gemma Helms, Justin Kuchel, and  Deanna Ramsey.

Poppongene has played significant shows, supporting Lucy Dacus (US), Weyes Blood (US), and Slow Dancer, and also showcased at industry music conference BigSound in 2019. Poppongene’s music is drenched in the sun’s rays but still isn’t afraid to embrace all seasons. With this project, Treloar masters a glistening sound all her own - poppy and phosphorescent, furnished with catharsis. Poppongene makes music for moods, ebbing and flowing down the river of figuring it all out.
