History
Strange Talk launched into the public eye when they rose to the top as a featured artist during the 2010 Triple J Unearthed competition. In April 2011 they released their self-titled EP through Neon Gold Records and Fine Time Records which featured the singles "Climbing Walls" and "Eskimo Boy". The group reached number one on Billboard's Uncharted chart for 17 September 2011 and the music video for "Climbing Walls" reached almost 400,000 YouTube views between August and September.
Strange Talk's debut studio album, Cast Away, was released on 8 February 2013 by Fine Time and Sony Music Australia. It charted at number fifty-six on the Australian Albums Chart.
The group has supported international acts The Rapture and Art vs. Science and performed alongside many others at Parklife, Good Vibrations, Playground Weekender, Future Music Festival, and Falls Festival.
The band signed with Wind-up Records for the rest of the world and released their debut album Cast Away in 2014.
In 2015 the group returned to the original duo format with principle members Gerard Sidhu and Stephen Docker remaining. On October 16, 2015 the group released their latest EP, E.V.O.L.U.T.I.O.N, via Wind-Up Records. The release is noted as a return to Strange Talk's electronic and dance oriented roots.
