Lastlings

Lastlings are an Australian electronic pop band from Gold Coast, Queensland made up of brother and sister duo Amy and Josh Dowdle. They have performed at Coachella, Spilt Milk, Splendour in the Grass, and The Plot. The duo are well known for their song "Deja Vu", which received high rotation on triple j. Lastlings supported Two Door Cinema Club on their Australian national tour.

2015–2021: First Contact
The project began while Amy was in high school; at the time Josh was studying biomedical science and working in fashion, from the age of 8 he studied classical music. Drummers Dave Jenkins and Shane Benson are interchangeably added to the band's lineup for live performances.

In 2017 Lastlings embarked on an Australian regional tour with Rüfüs Du Sol, they joined the band nationally in 2019 before supporting them throughout the United States. The same year they featured on triple j's Mix Up program for an hour long DJ set.

2022–present: Perfect World
In October 2022, Lastlings released single "Get What You Want" via Rose Avenue Records. This was followed by "Holding Me Like Water" in January and "Noise" in March 2023. The duo's second studio album, Perfect World is scheduled for release in June 2023. In an album review, Alex Gallagher from NME said "While the production feels crisp and contemporary, Perfect World feels grounded in one of dance music's oldest traditions: prioritising emotional connection above all. When singer Amy Dowdle's impassioned vocals soar over shimmering synths and electronic drums, the songs on Perfect World – at their peak – feel at once utterly euphoric and devastating."

Influences
The band have cited Jamie xx and Nicolas Jaar as influences.
