The EP was premiered this week on Purple Sneakers who had this to say about the Remix EP "Each rework has so much love and care attached to it, respecting the fragility of its original song and honing in on whatever it is that drew the artist in in the first place. A similarly blissful body of work compared to that of Poppongene‘s EP, this remix EP is something seriously special."
After Poppongene released her debut EP 'Futures Unsure' earlier this year to critical acclaim and extensive community radio play, Poppongene sent the call out to friends and collaborators to give the tracks from Futures Unsure their own spin and rejig. This resulted in a swirling collection of eclectic versions of the tracks from the EP.
Sophie from the band on the Futures Unsure Remix EP:
"It’s so refreshing to hear the songs from Futures Unsure reimagined by all of these talented sweethearts. They’re all so unique and I can hear pieces of each artist in all of them. It was a really fun collaboration project to complete while in isolation and made me feel more connected to my friends and my community."
Poppongene has already shared two tracks from the Futures Unsure Remix EP - 'I Can't Be What You Need' from friend and collaborator Sunbeam Sound Machine HERE and the second remix, 'Already Gone' from upcoming producer and musician Market HERE. Both of these tracks were released with accompanying visuals shot by Sophie of the band and Lee Hannah of Market on Mini DV, providing some well needed sunny respite for the current climate.
The collection of musicians featured on the EP are Sunbeam Sound Machine, Dianas, Snowy Band, Market, Bonnie Knight & Good Morning.
The remix EP is out now digitally via Our Golden Friend.

Originally from Byron Bay, Treloar is now based in Melbourne, and plays as Poppongene both solo and with a five-piece band, with Skube Burnell, 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.
