Weatherday (SE)

WEATHERDAY have announced their first Australian tour for April 2026, with three shows in Brisbane, Melbourne & Sydney.

Among the online DIY music scene around the emo genre, few acts have gained as much critical acclaim and notoriety as Weatherday. The alias of the semi-anonymous Swedish artist known as Sputnik, they inverted the preconception of emo on 2017s ambitious Come In, with a cathartic, lo-fi and subversive take on a then-tired genre.

Following several excellent EP and side project releases (including Five Pebbles, Lolas Pocket PC & Rana Plastic Bubbles), Weatherday has shared stages with scene bands such as Michael Cera Palin, Oolong and expanded their touring across North America, the UK, Asia and now Australia.

Hornet Disaster is Weatherdays follow-up full-length and their most expansive work to date.

From Top Shelf Records on Hornet Disaster:

The overture is signature Weatherday urgent, noisy, erratic, and playful but also hints at shifts in songwriting and production. Lead single Angel, backed with Heartbeats, demonstrates this evolution in a snappy, springy emo anthem, while its counterpart calls on longtime influence The Knife in a slinky, downtempo curio that pushes the Weatherday sonic universe in an unexpected direction.

The movement, colour, and form of hornets are meticulously threaded throughout the albums nineteen song tracklist, with hectic melody and unpredictable turns giving way to various forays: a tribute to Swedish winter in Weatherdays first official song in Swedish (Pulka); the use of renaissance flute (Green Tea Seaweed Sea); and the folktronica experimentalism of third single Ripped Apart By Hands.

Its a bustling record with disparate songs each vying for space like wasps in a swarm. It can inspire caution and chaos, but theres wonder, purpose, and a certain familiarity there, too. Weatherday has extended the knotted, thrashing maximalism of Come in by doubling down with the uncompromised, no-stone-unturned nature of Hornet Disaster. Where Come in was the product of an artist searching for their voice, Hornet Disaster represents the joyful abandon that comes from having found it.

From Bandcamp Daily on Come In:

Weatherdays inaugural record leaves no thoughts unspoken, no emotions suppressed, no base instinct ignored; its a caustic-but-nuanced queer confessional that approaches bedroom pop from a brutalist perspective, musically challenging but still laymen accessible.
