Over the last six months, Dunes have
situated themselves on the kiwi music scene as ones to watch, following the

Written by the sisters and
produced by Thomas
Healy (
Paquin,
Tiny Ruins),
Hard follows in the footsteps
of its sleek predecessor in presenting a melodic city of hooks, showcasing the
family disposition for strong melody crafting and songwriting. Dreamy,
melancholic synth pads punctuate the breezy rhythmic feel as we're induced to
the painful depths of young love.

Having spent most of their
formative years apart, the two sisters came together over the last two years,
and wrote an album's worth of material as they've got to know each other. The
result is refreshingly honest, and relatable as much as it is autobiographical.
The pair's debut single
Horses took
on the world in May this year, gathering attention towards the sisters' synthpop
side project after being uploaded to Soundcloud and shared around by fans. It
was picked up by
NOISEY, who said of the track:
"on first listen justifies
their early comparisons to the big pop of Grimes and Purity Rings.").
